Student Success Statement

"You will never regret doing what's right."
Anon

There will be no line of remorse, regret or taste of guilt when you do the right thing. As you push aside and ignore your conscience to do the wrong thing then that though will linger in your mind. Nothing bad will ever result from doing the right.

Laura B’s Academic Success Story

In High school I was one of the good students who really didn’t 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 tests by simply reviewing the material just before class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all through 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 books, but I began to understand that tiny little facts were just as important as general concepts. My overall study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the readings that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes 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 it is because of volleyball. I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

Academics 101


Academic Success Part 1

 My great academic success: In my principles 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 teachers since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was a 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 you students to take a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you know  about what you have learned or what you’re studying for 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 tips of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

Soft Pillows

Student Success Statement
"There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience"
French Proverb
This proverb represents the conscience that we should always have a clean conscience. When we go to sleep at night there should be no problems like a cold, still pillow. The pillow being soft represents comfort and therefore being in a good conscience.

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. It’s 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 it. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline 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 when I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Substance Abuse

 The Result of Substance Abuse
The younger generations are starting to degrate due to the lack of proper role models and substance abuse. We may see a result in the teens of our current day and age. Today more than 15% were abusing substances by the age of 18. These numbers are way to large and dissapointing. As teenagers we are the future to succeed our parents and provide an even better future for ourselves. As the youth of today, we cannot be destroying ourselves. Soon there will be no one to set a good example. So fight the good fight today, so that we can have a brighter tomorrow.

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 very different methods verbally with others. Mt test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, 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/tests: 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.

She had previously tried a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not yet 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 another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her work her DCCC transcript is preparation to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe that she has a 3.3 average grade point average and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admissions 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 and 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. One must work hard but not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances or outstanding success now and later.

 “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 among the first MLT students to rotate through WFUBMC, I think this is a strong foundation in laboratory science enabled me to dispel many of the perceived 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.

 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 assistant’s school.

 In August 2011, Mishak will begin studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physician’s 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 laboratorial science at DCCC. Many of the clinical applications that I learned there I still use today either in my medical 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 student s work hard and honorably, it’s not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time; it is a 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 at being good people, doing the right thing that doesn’t get them into trouble at school. By doing so, they will enjoy success during their high school years and their lifetime.

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

N. Elson Tanner

When you do wrong then you cannot stay on that straight path to success. As we constantly insist to choose the wrong, we stray away from our true goals that we can reach through our true potential. Everyone has a great mind and the ability to think, we need to use that for greatness. And if we still choose to the wrong we cannot prosper only settle in unhappiness and misery, we can no longer have the freedom of a free conscious.

Packer spends her days on the Davidson Campus working 29 hours per week as a teacher 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 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 school, complete all the assignments on time, and demonstrate a bright. Positive attitude towards school, learning, and other people, and then they can be highly successful as a high school student and qualify for academic scholarships too. All they need to do is to put in the time, study time. All the hard work and effort during high school will; definitely pay off. They will be rewarded for their hard work. But if they just mess around during their high school years and neglect their studies, use drugs, and mistreat others, they can expect to fall short of what could have been their rewards of scholarships and other opportunities, and they will suffer in short and long term.

·       Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the faculty of discrimination, becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent of others. When we study the four functions of the mind -- buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principle of identity; chitta, the storehouse of impressions; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensations and experience -- then we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is something within us that comes forward and says, “Do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training the internal functions helps us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without we cannot be successful.

·       Watch what you can do on a daily basis. We become what we do and we think about. If you think about nothing- you will become nothing. If you think about being a great student- you will become a great student. If you think about being honest- you will be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill in your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

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

Some experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get Organized:

o    Have homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments. And always carry it.

o    Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

o   Use the scribbler to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

o   Have Phone numbers for classmates especially of one who will be your “homework buddy.” This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

o    Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

o   Pat attention in class as it is very easy to let you mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

o   Keep bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

o   Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).

Take Care

                                  “Take care of yourself and everything else will fall into place.”

                                                                                                                        -Coach David Diamont

            - If we look out for our health physically there are risks that we are reducing.  These risks may involve the cause of cancers, surgeries, diabetes or any other type of chronic disease. When we care for ourselves mentally/ psychologically, then there are moments that we can be stress free, no sense of weight on our shoulders. Some of these reliefs may even come from telling the truth. Spiritually we can be healthy by doing what is right. We need to nurture our souls and meditate on different aspects of our life. This constructive criticism within ourselves will allow us to reflect it back out and show others if even they are in a time of crisis.

Acquiring the Habits Part 11


Acquiring the Habits of Highly Successful Students Part 11

 Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be felling stress and pressure, and both factors will prove disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s the most important to forget about the panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post most useful.

I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible moment.
