“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.

You Can Succeed in School If You Will Part 1



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.

Student Success Statement


“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.

As we all know that was very sad and shocking new. Both little girls chose the wrong. They fought over a boy which is very dumb and ignorant. Both of them should of avoided the situation and not even think about getting into a fight. Its crazy how getting to a fight can lead to someones death. The other little girl is now considered a murderer because Joanna Ramos of 10 years old past away. The doctors had done brain surgery on Joanna but her heart failed and wasnt strong enough which caused for her death. It must be rough for the family of Joanna but hopefully she is in a better place now. It must also be hard knowing that you were the cause of someones death.

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 accomplishments. It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
