“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.

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 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.

How to always succeed in school

Part 7

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.
