“Through 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 rotation 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 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 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 DCC 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 in phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, within includes training new technology on cell identification,” said Mishak.

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 do is study, put in the time; it’s as 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 people, doing nothing to get them in trouble during high school. By doing so, they will enjoy success during high school and throughout their lifetime.

Andrea Packer anticipates with a B.A. in Education from Catawba in December 2011 and then enrolling in the Master of Arts in teaching programs from Salem College, also offered 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 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, 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:

 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 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 towards 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.

California Schoolgirl is Killed in a School Fight

A 10-year-old girl named Joanna Ramos was killed in a fight between her and another girl. The reason why they were fighting was over a boy. In my opinion I think that is really stupid, because first of all fighting is never the answer to anything, and second of all to fight over a boy is not worth it. By them choosing the wrong a girl ended up loosing her life for nothing.

“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.

How to Always 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—buddhi, 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 within us that comes forward and says. “Do this. It will be helpful for you. “Training the internal functions help 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. If you think about nothing- you’ll become nothing. If you think about being a great student-you will be a great student. If you think about 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.” 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 things 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 would not postpone for tomorrow, but we should not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make a wrong decision, but our 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 waist 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 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 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.

o  Relate the topic to what you already know and listen for main ideas.

o  Make eye contact with your teacher and take notes.

o  Ask questions if you don’t understand, but try not to interrupt your teacher. Raise your hand or wait until your teacher pauses or asks for questions.

ü  Use good study habits

ü  Leran how to take tests

ü  Believe in yourself

 

Some experts say the differece 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 assignemts, and always carry it.

ü ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

ü use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them oreganized.

ü 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 assignemts 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 absord the information being presented.

ü keep your bookshelf desk and kitbag neat.

ü be prpared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).
