Student Success
Story
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 Davison Campus. Packer spends
her days on the Davison Campus working 29 hours a week as 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 and qualify
for academic scholarship 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, mistreat others,
then they can expect to fall short of what they could have been their reward of
scholarship 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.
