“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 bachelor’s 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 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. This involves oversight if the hematology, coagulation, and the flow of the 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 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.

 Andrea Packer anticipates graduating with 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 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. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a life time by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can write your own Student Success Story.

Andrea Packer- Without the prestigious DCCC Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Packer, a 2010 DCCC honor graduate , says she doubts she would already be pursuing her baccalaureate degree from Catawba College. “I cannot say than =k 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.

Learn how you remember

Student Success Statement

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

            This is a very valuable quote to remember because everything you learn will stay in your mind. The more you practice it the easier it will become to retain that memory. When we have nothing in our lives, our mind, our education, our sanity is all that we’ll have to reflect on. So we must also be wise of what we observe and keep in our minds. What we see hear or speak will be connected to you somehow forever.

He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC.

There was once a 10- year old girl, who was attending Willard Elementary School. She and another classmate had a disagreement on on a certain situation, in this case a boy. As they were fighting, Joanna suffered a blow to the head which sent her to the hostpital. Surgery was performed on this unfortunate being, doctors had removed a blood clot in her brain. The effect was only temporary because within a few minutes she passed.

This situation only goes to show that you should not fight over simple things in life. When we choose to resolve our conflicts through violence then already we are in the wrong. There is no scenario where violence is positively productive.

Katie Walkins, a stand out Storm Volleyball player for two years, 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 the 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 B.S.N at Winston-Salem State University and eventually get her master’s degree in Nursing.

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

·       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.

The Choice is Yours

Be aware of the Night

 In the atmosphere of the night life, you intend to have a nice time. Its the end if the week and you just want to relax and unwind, take a few swigs of beer and get comfortable.

This was not the case Tempe, Arizona. there was a disturbance an a late friday. While in the night club there was a dreadful situation where ther was a shoot out. Many were injured, but luckily there were minor injuries.

This goes to show that there is no gaurentee for safety even when you are trying to have fun. Especially when you are in a night club those chances become slim. Ypu can avoid these happenings when you avoid night clubs and the night life all together.

·         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.

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

Do the Math. Even if you are 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 that 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 the 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, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not how to decide.

·         Learn How to Take Tests

·         Believe in Yourself

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).
