“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 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 I faced. Since I was among the first MLT students to rotate through WFUBMC, I think this strong foundation ion 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 he 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 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 gin 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 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 inn trouble during high school. By doing so, they will enjoy success 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 will inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery and loss of freedom.”

-N. Eldon Tanner

I agree with this statement, when you do something bad you become more accustomed to it. You might start doing it more often and things only go downhill from there that’s why it’s better to always choose the right, so you won’t fall into a cycle of choosing the wrong.

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 a bright, positive attitude toward 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 work and effort during high school will definitely payoff. 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 the short and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note. This you can:

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 he 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 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.

Kimani hunt, 19, a Dean’s List student at Davidson County Community College, is a standout 6’5” player on the DCCC Storm basketball team who serves as a role model for other students both on the court. With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester and a cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb.18^th, Hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball.

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. He hopes to pursue a career in sports management.

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 about 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 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, te faculty of discrimination, becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent on 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 that something=g within us that comes forward and says, “Do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training the functions helps us to 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 nothing-you will become nothing. If you think about being a great student-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.” Though they may think correctly and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This ia 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 which we have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a serious setback if we make a wrong decision, but own mistakes will teach us.

·         We must learn from the 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’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 you 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 is 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, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

·         Get organized

·         Use good study habits

·         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:

ü  Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and always carry it.

ü  Ask the teacher for some e outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you

ü  Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

ü  Have phone numbers of classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy.” This is someone in your class who will 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.

ü  Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

ü  Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. take notes, concentrate on what is being said; it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

ü  Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat

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