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 be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the materials just before the class began. 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 results that I wanted to see. In college however, that changed. Not only did I start reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concept. My overall 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 didn’t get to as an additional study aid I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volley ball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class.

My great academic success: in my principal of the market class, we had to come up with a new product and 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. Delegate 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 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 language 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 your absent, and remember that you want to learn.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was 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 benefits, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-valued.”

As Kennedy lay crumbled 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 to physically, mentally and emotionally abuse me.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for 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 3.3 grade point average and that she was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admissions policy.

It took two 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 the life that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard and not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your chances for outstanding success now and later.

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in medical laboratory technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from DCCC to be accepted in to 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 technologist 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 simple as that. If students aren’t willing to study now, it will be very difficult this habit later one. 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 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 Davidson campus. Packer spends her days on the Davidson campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC early childhood 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 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 student and qualify for academic scholarships 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, 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 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 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 child hood education from Catawba College, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCCs Davidson campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant job in one DCCC building and walking only step to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistic and education courses.

Joanna Ramos,10, Died because she was getting down with this other girl over a boy. i found this really stupid, because why would they even bother fighting for a boy? aren't they like 10? why did they even fight for him?  Joanna probably didn't know how to fight, so she got beat up and she died because she had a blood clot. the doctor said she was alive after the surgery, but then after a couple of minutes the doctor went back to let her family know she was dead. this is sad, because Joanna was young, she still had plenty of years left in her life. As for the other girl, she might be in jail, she will be living her whole life remembering and knowing she has killed someone before. It is also sad because Joanna's family must feel Terrible for losing such a young daughter..

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 others. 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 helps us 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 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.

·       Students know they should learn how 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 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. Si 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 a wrong decision, but our mistakes 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 theirs. 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 club.

·       Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waste valuable time.
