You Can Succeed in School If You Will

Part2

“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 Statement

“There is no happiness in sin, and when we depart from the path of righteousness we begin to do those things which will inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery and loss of freedom.”

N. Eldon Tanner

What this statement means to me that if you commit a sin like a murder or homicide that there is no happiness in that and when the time comes for all of us to go then we start to do things that we never imagined  that we could ever do.

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:

Student Success Stories Part 5

 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.

“The most valuable asset you will ever have is your mind and what you put into it.”

Also this means that if you use your mind to do something then just do it because its your mind use it when you need it. Also this means to use your mind to do good and not for selfish reasons.

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

Student Success Stories Part 1

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.

Shooting In Arizona
My refection to this shooting that happened in the state of Arizona is that this might happen to any one of us but if you choose to not go then you are choosing the right for not going because you probably are the one who’s going to get shot up for going And if you do go you are choosing the wrong path because people always tend to get a little cranky after the beer and party is all done this is my reflection to this statement.


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.
