“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 assistance’s school.

In August 2011, Mishak will begin to studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physician’s assistance.

He says DCCC prepared him well to transfer to Winston-Salem state university, where he earned his undergraduate degree and clinical laboratory science 20004. Since then, he 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 medical volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, which includes training new technologist on call 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. Their for I suggest that students work hard in their studies ad 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 through their lifetime.

What I think that this statement means is that you lose everything because you decide to lose it. If you decide to have it then you have it. No one will choose what you decide to do and if you want the best for you then you do what you do to get it and so you get rewarded with what you do.

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.

Joanna Ramos is a school girl that got killed because of a stupid fight. The fight was because they were fighting over a guy. She got down in the alley near the school and she got her ass kicked. For those consequences she died because she had a blunt-cloth in her brain. Joanna could have prevented this fight by telling someone what was going on. They could also be feeling upset on the other girl because she mad her die and that feeling of her being a murder will never go away. There the both of the school girls are CTW.

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 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 to the table. I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

Watkins is a May 2010 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, 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, the faculty of divisiveness  ego, the principle of identity; chitta, the store house 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 being a great student-you will become 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.

Night club review in Arizona

What happened on the shooting at the shooting at the night club. The night club are really bad because they are a waste of time and money and life. They are also a bad influence because you never know what will happen to you even when you are with your best friend or family members. If friends take you there then they are no friends because what friend wants you to lose your life there. What happened was that there was shooting in the nightclub outside in Arizona. So night clubs are no good for no one.

·       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 didn’t 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 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 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 their’s. Also, on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserably, learn how 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.

·       Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understanding a concept.

·       The frist point to understand is the philosophy and science of decisions—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 time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they with draw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

What will I do to graduate high school?

What will I do to graduate? Well I really don’t like school and not to be negative I think that I will not graduate from high school. I will try to graduate and not be negative about it. One main skill is to not choose the wring and choose the right. I will try my best on the test and succeed. I hope that I pass my entire test and the test that you take when you are a senior. I like to do math and that is my best subject.  I like the way the teacher teach us and actually show how to do it and have fun with it. Not to be all bored and have their speeches about some things that doesn’t even relate to their subject that they are teaching. I would try to have good grades and not fail any classes. I will choose the right by studying and doing what is right. I like the way SOME of the teachers teach us and not making us bored. Which in that case I look forward to actually pay attention in their class and have fun. What I will also do to graduate is to not do anything bad in school and have consequences for choosing the wrong. I would also do all my homework.  I will also do what is expected and bring all my materials to class. Or just saying is prepared to class. I will not get in trouble and listen to the teacher. Respect others and they will respect me so that I have a more connection with my peers. What I do to graduate from high school? I will also have to be attention to know that I will be good in school and graduate high school sop that I will move forward to college or community college. That is what I will do to graduate from high school!

ü Get organized

ü  Use good study habits

ü  Learn how to take test

ü  Believe in your self

Some experts say the difference between good student and poor student isn’t mainly ability. Instead it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get organized
üHave a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of assignments, and always carry it.

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

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

üHave phone numbers for classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy”. This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can barrow 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 wonder. Take notes, concentration 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, bring the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).
