You can succeed in school

If You Will

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 need to know about laboratory at DCCC. Many of the clinical application that I learned there I still use today in either my medical volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties in 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 being good people, doing nothing will get them in trouble during school. By doing so, they will enjoy succeeding during high school and throughout their lifetime

Andrea Packer anticipates graduating with a B.A in education from Catawba in 2011 and then enrolling in the masters of Arts in teaching program from Salem College, also offered in the Davison 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 associates degree totally paid for,” she said. “I couldn’t believe that I had my first degree, and I was debt free. What a wonderfully blessing.”

If students work hard during high school, complete all assignments on time, and demonstrate a bright positive attitude towards 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 out during high school will definitively 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 they 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: Write your own student success story

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 baccalaurean 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 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’ trouble shoot 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 in 20008 in the DCCC computer lab without the help of instructors. He also documented the procedure with step-by-step video and written instructions to help others get through the procedure.
