This quote means that when you do something right you will never regret it. You know you did something good so why would you take it back. Doing what is right will make you a better person and a successful person as well.

Academic Success Part 2

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to able to get by on the test by simply reviewing the material just before class begun. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much of an effort to get the result that I wanted to see. In college however, that change. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. My over study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, it’s tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

This means that you are with choosing the right or choosing the wrong. You cant be doing something wrong and right at the same time.

Academic Success Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product to sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility.  Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying for in the class. If you don’t remember everything or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign languages. Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

" There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience."

If you only do right things and  have a clear conscience you will never feel bad so you will not feel guilty and you will be able to sleep comfortable and good. But, when you have regrets and have bad things on your mind, you feel guilty and never get rest. So to avoid all of that just always do the right thing

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade, I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in class and have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help           like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due.

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION! Despite your group synergy, communications is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. Its really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when 2 people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it .

I Will Persist Until I Succeed Part 1

                

In High school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out of the methods verbally with others. My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial test, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from test; I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

 My time management secret: one of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information it sticks a little better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects/test: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method; I tend to do massive studying blocks of about a hour or so in order to really learn the materials.

After Some serious-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and fulfill who she destined to be. She returned to DCC “with determination and a mindset that I would not fail with God leading me.

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I knew I could find refuge in the Student Success Program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggle and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value.”

As Kennedy crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said, “For years, I allowed someone I loved physically, mentally, and emotionally, abuse me.”

               

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but she was immature and not ready for the academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCC transcript in preparation to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 g.p.a and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admission policy.

If took 2 false starts before the 22-year-old Thomasville resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the value of herself. She thought back to when she was only 18 years old but felt “overwhelmed by life.” She had just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car accident.

“I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living a life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard, but not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.

“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors protected me with the same theory and knowledge as those students completing their teacher’s degree program in clinical lavatory science”. Mishak said

“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 student to rotate through the WFUMBC, I think this is strong foundation in lavatory 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 oversights of the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytometry sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak; who earned a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from DCC 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 to transfer to Winston- Salem State University, where he earned his under graduated 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, its not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time; its 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.

“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 post is saying that there is nothing right about sinning and that you will not find happiness when you sin. You didn’t choose to do good, but you chose to do wrong. You should follow the good path that leads you to freedom and happiness and don’t follow the wrong path which will lead you to misery.

Packer spends her days on the Davidson Campus working 29 hours a week as a 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 successful as a high school student and qualify for acedimic scholarships also. All they need to do is put in the 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 high school years and neglect 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:

 Andrea Parker- 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 Colleges. “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.
