Student Success Stories
Part 6
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.
