“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructor 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 t every challenge that I faced. Since I was the among 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 cytomerty sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak who earned a degree I 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 I needed to know about laboratory science at DCCC. Many of the clinical applications that I learned there I still uses 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 study, put in the time; it’s simple as that. If students aren’t always 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 to get them in trouble during high school. By doing so, they will enjoy success during high school and throughout their lifetime.

 Andre 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 the Davidson Campus. Packer spends her days on the Davidson Campus working 29 hours a week as teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood Education program.

“Not only did receiving this scholarship made me study harder an d 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 school student and qualify for academic 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 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.

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,” 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 of her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses.

“The most valuable asset you will ever have is your mind and what you put into it”

Reflection: This statement is really true. The human mind is the core of our functioning. Without our brain we’re practically dead and can’t function. Everything we do or think comes from our mind. It is one of the most important organs in our body that makes us do everything. You are using your mind at this instant if you are reading this and you use it all day every day. The mind is very complex and is and our understanding or intelligence is stored it in. You should fill your mind with positive things and when you choose the right you fulfill your brain with good things. Your mind and what you put into it is the most valuable thing. Choose the right and you will fulfill your mind with good thing that will affect you in positive ways. Choose the right and make your mind even more valuable!

Summary: A young nice girl from Long beach died after a fight with other classmates. These girls were both in fifth grade and were fighting over a boy. They both planned to fight in a nearby alley. Joanna Ramos suffered of a blood clot in her brain after she fought with the other girl. The doctor performed a surgery on Joanna’s brain but she couldn’t make it alive and she died. This is a very sad story that can happen to any of us and fighting can lead to death

 Reflection: This story is really sad. Joanna Ramos was too young to die, and she died for the dumbest reason. This shows how fighting can lead to tragic things like death. This makes me think that it can happen to anyone of us especially because she lives in an environment like ours and we can relate to her. Choosing the wrong and fighting doesn’t solve anything, it only makes things worse and can lead to death. This also shows how society is corrupt and that we should choose the right so events like this can be prevented. No one should lose their life over a fight and especially not a young girl like Joanna Ramos who didnt even make it to half her life or enjoy it.

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 a 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 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.

Reflection: This statement is really true. The secret to achieve true success is found in your daily routine. Success is within you and what you do. Success is in your routine. For example if you work hard every day or devote yourself to whatever you want, success will always be there because you’re ambition is high. You get better at what you like and success builds up. The secret to achieve true success is found in what you do every day and to what you devote or show effort into.

·         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 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 being a great student-you will become a great student. If you think about being honest- you will become honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

Summary and Refelction

Summary: There was a shootout in the state of Arizona in a nightclub. A police man arrested one person but was looking for two others who got away. Fourteen people got injured and a person even had a gunshot wound in his leg. This was a very tragic event that happens for not choosing the right.

Refection: This was a very tragic event. This happened because people chose the wrong and it affected others. Choosing the wrong not only affects you but others as well. People go hurt in this event for the fault of others who didn’t choose the wrong. This is very sad because people got hurt and could have lost their lives. This shows how choosing the wrong can be dangerous and can possibly take lives away. Always choose the wrong and never do something dumb like these individuals did.

Students know they should learn 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 understand the situation properly they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the something we are. So 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 have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We have a setback if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.

·         We must learn from the success and mistakes of others. When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorably, learn how they don 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 AVIOD doing what they do or else you will join them in the failures club.

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

Do the math. Even if you’re struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options. It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

·         Take math problems one step at a time.

·         Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.

·         Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understanding a concept.

·         The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decision—how to make decisions on time. The most successful person is that person who knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinary 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.
