“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 among the 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 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 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 – 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 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 College classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses.

Porter said she was impressed at everything Noah accomplishes, including earning several professional certifications and still making time to tutor other students in her classes as well as others in the information technology area.

“Shane Noah helps other students troubleshoot software and hardware issues not only in networking classes but other information technology courses while maintaining a positive, professional attitude. He goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of an assignment while being a full-time student.”

Noah earned professional certifications in A+, NET+ and Security+ in 2010-2011 and will receive his CCNA certification in the summer. In addition, he implemented the deployment of Windows 7 using Server 2008 in the DCCC computer lab without the help of instructors. He also documented the procedure with step-by-step and written instructions to help others get through the procedure.

Summary:                                 

A 10-year-old girl named Joanna Ramos was killed in a fight that was near her school in long beach. When she got back to school during the after school program she had blood on her knuckles. I believe that no one should be fighting at all because one person could die and the other could go to jail. Nobody will win in fights. And Fighting for a boy is the dumbest thing ever to fight for.

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 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

·       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 other. When we study the four functions of the mind – buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principle of 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 will become nothing. If you think about nothing-you will become nothing. If you think about 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

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.

ü Get Organized

ü Use Good Study Habits

ü Learn How to Take Tests

ü Believe in Yourself

Some experts say the same difference 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 assignments, and always carry it.

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

ü Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized

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 assignments 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 absorb the information being presented.

ü Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

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