“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

What this statement means that if you do what is right all the time you will have a clear state or mind that won’t hold you back from what you are trying to achieve. Also what this is trying to show/tell you is that if you always do what is right you will never forget what you did.

Academic Success

Part 2

Laura B.’s academic success story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all through out high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good note in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what he material means.

“light and darkness cant occupy the same time. CTR is the light-CTW is the darkness.”

Call/Haymore

What this statement means to me is that if you choose the right you are following the path to unity power and respect which in other words means that you are choosing to follow the light to choose the right. And if you choose the wrong by doing drugs acting up in class and getting into trouble with the punk ass dirty corrupted ass cops then in other peoples eyes you are following a path to darkness.

 

 

 

Academic Success

Part 1

My great academic success: in my principals of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows  a  group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying in the class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language

Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case your absent, remember that you should want to learn.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

French Proverb

What this statement means to me is that if you clear your mind of all the bad or good things that you have done your entire life then you yourself can do anything you have always tried to do but couldn’t because of all the stress that has been  bothering you through your life.

I Will Persist Until I Succeed

Part 2

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. Its hard when you have your first test in class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a time line planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. Its really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same e-mails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A.’s Academic success story

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as I do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with others. My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial test, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

My time management secret: one of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class Is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting  until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects/test: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trails the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

Robert  E. Lee

What this statement means to me  is that you, yourself have it in you to do what’s right all the time but its all up to you and the decisions you make while you are on the road to success. Also if your one of those people who have a hard time trying to always follow the right its ok because you can always practice it until you get it right and when you finally do get it just take a nice long rest because all your worries are all gone.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with determination and mindset that would not fail with god leading me.”

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I knew I could find refuge in the student success program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self –value.

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “after the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression, “she said. For years, I allowed someone I loved to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcripts in preparation to transfer to Salem college, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 grade point average and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admission policy.

It took two false starts before the 22-year-old Thomasville resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the value of herself. She thought back to when she was only 18 years old but felt “overwhelmed by life”. She had just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living a life that was overwhelming," she said. ”goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.

“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors provided me with the same theory and knowledge as those students completing their bachelors degree program in clinical laboratory science,” Mishak added.

“when I started my clinical rotations at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, I felt that my formal education at DCCC prepared me to succeed at every challenge that I faced. Since I was the among first MLT students to rotate through WFUBMC, I think this strong foundation in laboratory science enabled me to dispel many of the preconceived ideas about MLTs regarding their education and what they are able to do.” After a year working as a medical laboratory technician at children’s healthcare of Atlanta, he was promoted to a Hematology Analytical specialist position. This involves oversight of the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytometry sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in medical Laboratory Technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from DCCC to be accepted into physician assistants school.

In august 2011, Mishak will begin studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physicians assistant.

He says DCCC prepared him well to transfer to Winston-Salem State University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science in 2004. Since then, he has worked in the lab at Children’s healthcare of Atlanta.

“I learned pretty much everything that I needed to know about laboratory science at DCCC. Many of the clinical applications that I learned there I still use today either in my medical volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, which includes training new technologists on cell identification,” said Mishak.

It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, its not difficult at all. All students need to  do is study, put in the time; its as simple as that. If students aren’t willing to study now, it will be very difficult to develop this habit later on. Therefore, I suggest that students work hard in their studies and at being good people, doing nothing to get them in trouble during high school. By doing so, they will enjoy success during high school and throughout their life time.

Student Success Story Part 6

Andrea Packer anticipates graduating with a B.A. in Education from Catawba in December 2011 and then enrolling in the Master of Arts in teaching program from Salem College, also offered on the Davidson Campus. Packer spends her days on the Davidson Campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood Education program.

“Not only did receiving this scholarship make me study harder and be the best I could be, but it also allowed me to graduate in May 2010 with my associate degree totally paid for,” she said. “I couldn’t believe I had my first degree, and I was debt free. What a wonderful blessing!”

If students work hard during High School, complete all assignments on time, and demonstrate bright, positive attitude towards school, learning, and other people, then they can be highly successful as a high school student and qualify for academic scholarships also. Al they need to do is put in time, study time. All the hard work and effort during high school will defiantly pay off. They will be rewarded for their hard work. But if they just mess around during high school years and neglect their studies, use drugs, and mistreat others, then they can expect to fall short of what could have been their rewards of scholarships and other opportunities, and they will suffer in the short and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can:

 Andrea Packer- Without the prestigious DCCC Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Parker, a 2010 DCCC honor graduate, says she doubts she would already be pursuing her baccalaureate degree from Catawba College. “I cannot say thank you enough to whomever paid for my education, and I am going to continue to do my best to make them happy that they invested in me,” she said.

Since August 2010, Parker, 20, has been working towards her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Catawba College, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCC’s Davidson Campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses.

My reflection to this killing that happened in long beach, the schools name is Willard Elementary; and the way I feel this is that these girls were not using their heads because if they were this would have never happened. Also this was just stupid because they are too young to be thinking about boys and they should not even be fighting over a boy that’s probably not even going to like her any way. Also this makes me feel very angry because those people that were watching could of stopped them from even fighting. http://www.wikihow.com/Walk-Away-from-a-Fight

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-year-old who works in teams with her classmates in problem-based nursing exercises. “I learned that everyone has different strengths and brings something different to the table. I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

Watkins is a may 2012 candidate to receive her associate degree in nursing. She hopes to pursue her B.S.N. at Winston-Salem State University and eventually get  her masters degree in nursing.

Setting educational goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of accomplishments. It builds self-esteem, and increases self confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.

How to Always succeed in school

·      Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. They always say, “well, I knew it. I under stood the key, but I did not act in time.” Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else will attain what we want. Time is valuable in the external world. A teacher bamboo can be easily bent, but if we try to bend a mature bamboo, it will break. That which we have to do today, we should also not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.

·      We must learn from successes and mistakes of others. When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after theirs. Also, on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserably, learn how they do it and avoid doing what they do or else you will join them in the failures club.

·      Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waist valuable time.

How To Always Succeed in School

Do the math. Even if your struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options. It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

·      Take math problems one step at a time.

·      Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it much harder.

·      Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understanding a concept.

·      The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decision—how to make decisions on time. The most successful person is that person who knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinarily brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when the time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

How to always succeed in school
Write. Writing is a way to express yourself: your ideas, opinions and knowledge. And you may do a lot of it in college and on the job.

·      Write a little every day. Try keeping a daily journal to make a habit of writing.

·      Read outside class to increase your vocabulary and understanding of grammar.

·      Break up long writing sessions into shorter periods with regular breaks.

·      Let your writing sit for a while and then come back to it.

·      Read your writing out loud or have someone read it to you.

·      Edit someone else’s writing and let that person edit yours.

·      Learn to write and write to learn.

·      Write creatively. Writing on your personal web blog is a great way to put your words into writing and to journalize your writing day after day.

·      Write your life history.

·      Write your life’s goals in a journal, review these goals often, revise your goals as needed. But, write them down.

·      “writing maketh an exact man; therefore, he that writeth little hath need of great memory” (Anon)

·      Write to remember.
