Academic Success Part 2

 

Laura B.’s academic story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never had to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In collage 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 it up. If id o fall behind, I usually use the notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class 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 materials mean.

part 1

My great academic success: in my principals of marketing class, we have 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 a team leader i assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibilities. Delegating work always help since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math foreign language tips: math basically just takes practice. I always tells student to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in 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 collage: go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to lean.

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. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your own teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: start early and make sure that you have proofread. 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: COMMUNTCATION! 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 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.

Heather A.’s Academic Story

I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange note 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 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 I learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little 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.

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 a mindset that I 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, 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 unable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript 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 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 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. One must work hard, but not waste time. 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 assignment 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 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 MLT 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 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 hid undergraduate degree in clinical laboratory science in 2004. Since then, he has worked in the lab at the children’s health care of Atlanta.

It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, it’s not difficult at all. All students need to is study now, it will be very difficult to develop this habit later on therefore, I suggest that students work hard in their studies and being a good person, doing nothing to get the in trouble during high school and throughout 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 inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery and loss of freedom”

N. Eldon Tanner

 

Reflection: This quote means that when you do something wrong you won’t feel happiness in life. When you do something right you will have the burden of freedom and that is what almost all the people want in life, they all want freedom. Committing a sin is not a good thing but you do it anyways Knowing is bad. Always choose the right! It’s good knowing that you did something good and that others will eventually appreciate it, doing something good is always better than not doing something correct and have people dislike you because of what you did.

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 instructions in the DCC Early Childhood 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 a 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. All they need to do is put in the time, study time. All the hard 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 neglected 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: 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 baccalaurean 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, Packer, 20, has been working toward 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.

How to Succeed in School

Part 8

· 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 on others. When we study the four functions of the mind—Buddhist, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principal of identity; Chita, the storehouse of impressions; and manes the importer and exporter of sensations and experience—then we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is that something within us that comes forwards and says, “Do this. It will be helpful for you, “Training the internal functions helps us understand the decisive faculty of the mind without which we cannot be successful.

· Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what we do and 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 of being honest-you will be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill 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 in time.” Thought 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 tender bamboo can be easily bent, but if we try to bend mature bamboo, it , will break .that which we have to do today ,we should not postpone for tomorrow ,but we should not make decisions in hate. We may have a set back if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach We must learn from the success and mistake of others. when we see another student succeeding greatly and horribly ,learn how they do it and pattern your studies after theirs .also, on the other hand ,when you see another student failing miserably, learn how they do it and AVOID doing what they do or else you will join them in the failure club

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

Do the math. Even if you’re 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 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, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.
