You Can Succeed in School If You Will Part 2

“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 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 enables 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 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 in 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, 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 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.

“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

This quote I believe is very true. When you sin or do something wrong it always hurts you and damages you some way. The only way to avoid this is to choose the right and never do bad things.

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.

Andrea packer-without the prestigious DCCC presidential scholarship she won in 2008, Adrea 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 toward her bachelor’s degree in the 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 one step to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses

“The most valuable asset you will ever have is you mind and what you put into it”

This in my opinion is one of the smartest statements that I have ever heard. It is simple to describe and agree with. The key to life is strong will power and mind, the only way to get that is through knowledge. This is obtained by using your mind and putting new things in it. The only way to get anywhere far in life is to use your mind to gain an advantage.

death of a young girl

Jonna ramos was a 10 year old girl in fifth grade. She and another school girl had a spat over a boy. They decided to fight over him in an alley near by the school. They fought and jonna suffered from blunt force trauma and died.

Refection—I think that this is horrible and stupid thing. I think fighting over a boy is just stupid let alone have violence get involve. Jonna had her whole life ahead of her and she threw it away by agreeing to fight the other girl. I think it’s extremely sad that she threw her life away. Also the guilt the other girl has to deal with. In the end, them fighting did nothing none of them can get the boy now

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she say she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-years-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.

“The secret to achieving success is found in your daily routine”

This quote it very true when you want to succeed you need to work for it. If you do not work every day you will never get what you aspire for. When you work hard every day like your homework will assure you to get a good grade and succeed. This and training like star athletes not only help you mentally and physically but also makes sure that you always do the right thing.

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, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principle of identity; chitta, the storehouse of impression; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensation and experience – then we become aware of the power of the will. Will power is that something within us that comes forward and say, “Do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training the internal 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. If you think about nothing-you will become nothing. 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.

Arizona nightclub shooting

In tempe Arizona there was a shooting at a night club. The night club was filled with people and shoots were fired. It can only be speculated that a drunk and disorderly person was behind this. Shots went off and a man was shot in the foot. They arrested on person and they are looking for 2 other suspects.

REFLECTION—In my opinion this is a bad thing and gives the “party scene” a bad name. It is okay if you go party, have fun drink but only in moderation. Things can get out of control if you partake in this way too much. My belief is that partying is fun and events like this are horrible. The person who did this shooting should be imprisoned. If you want to avoid situations like this you simply need to be right stay away from this or do this in moderation and not overdue the partying.

Part 7

·      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 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 mistake 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 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.

Part 6

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 that much harder.

· Ask for help and study with friends if you 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, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.
