“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors provided me with the same theory and knowledge as those students completing their bachelor’s degree program in clinical laboratory 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 challenged 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 cytometry sections of the laboratory.

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 was 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, 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 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 Story – Part 6

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 the 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 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 2010with 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, 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: Write your own Student Success Story.

Andrea Parker – Without the prestigious DCCC Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Parker, 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 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 leave DCCC’s Davidson Campus to do so. She said she like to convince of leaving 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.

my Future --

I graduated form HPIAM with A's, B's, and C's.

My Family, especially my Mom, is proud of Me. I feel so Great about Myself.

I have applied to many Universities/Colleges ; Columbia, NYU, Harvard, UCLA, USC, ect.

My Job is Decent. With the little I get, I help my Mom. I also help Myself but majority of My money goes to my College Savings.

My Free Time - I Study ,

I got accepted at NYU. I Work Harder. I have My own Place in New York, a couple blocks away from NYU. I'm doing well. I Work, Study, and evreything is going just fine - like a Calm Flowing River.

I'm a Doctor. Married to a Doctor. I'm working hour and hours in the Hospital. I've built my DreamHouse. My Mother lives with Me. I've built her her own DreamHouse right next to mine. I thank Her. I spend all the time I can with Her. She's my Hero. I honestly do regret all the bad times I caused to Her when I was Younger. I thank God She still Loves Me as Much as I Love Her. I have adopted 5kids. They're all so Great and I have 4 of my Own. I'm earning money to build my Own Hospital.

My Hospital is Completed. It's named after my Grandma ; Louisa ...

the Fight.

Summary:

Fighting - over a boy. Death of a 10-year-old girl occurs after this fight. The 10-year-olds name was Joanna Ramos. Joanna and another girl had planned to fight in an alley near the school. She attended Willard Elementary in Long Beach. This action was the most absurd action there could ever be. Planning to fight over a boy is choosing the wrong. These students should be choosing the right. Instead why didn’t they plan to go study or why didn’t they forget the boy and focus in school. They were young and had a bright future ahead of them.


Reflection:

Violence is never the greatest idea to solve a conflict. Fighting is choosing the wrong. None of this would have ever happened if they just ignored the silly problem (the boy.) Choosing the wrong always leads to tragedies, bad consequences, etc. Choosing the right is always the right thing to do. Why? Because you feel better about yourself, good consequences become, and everything turns out just fine.

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.

Community -- [November 13 2012] ~

Advisory ;

What are some issues You see in your Community that need attention?Some of the issues I see in my Community that need attention would have to be the Homeless. Especially some Homeless that are in wheelchairs or use crutches/canes. I think they need a Home, a Big Home - for all Homeless to go there and not live in the streets. The Home should provide Food, Bathrooms, Rooms, etc.
Another major issue that I have seen in my Community would have to be Street Gangs. Those people have nothing better to do other than destroy property, show disrespect, influence others to do bad, etc. Some are Young that it surprises me that they're not in School learning. I think they should wise up and Succeed.What can You do to help change Your Community and/or work towards solving these issues?I think that maybe sending letters to the Government or a Socializtaion could help. Maybe making a Page Online and announcing the Page so many could go online and learn about what one of issues going on in our community. Maybe it will touch Their Heart and they would like to Help.
To deal with these gangs thier should be Small Groups, Counclers, etc.

How to Always Succeed in School

¨ 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—Bodhi, the faculty of decisiveness;  ego, the principle of identity; chitta, the store house of impressions; and manes, the importer and exporter of sensation and experience—then we become aware of the power of the will.

¨ 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-you will become a great student.

×          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 same thing we are. So if we do not decide on time, someone else will attain what we want.

×          We must learn from the success 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’s club.

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

QuickWrite:

- Where do you see poverty in your community?
I see poverty almost everywhere - on the streets, under the bridges, vacant areas, in the corners, etc. One time that I was riding the Metro I passed by this place near Dowtown, where there was homeless people. Some of these Homeless people have tents and others only have a cart with them. There are many different races of poor people, and sometimes it isn't there fault but other times, they choose the wrong and thats the consequence.

- Think about the facts and statistics we discussed. What did you already know?
I knew about the different races that are homeless. I already knew that there are many suffering people that are poor and homeless and have no place to live, no clothes; no supplies.

- What surprised you?
I think what surprised me the most was that Latinos were the most poor.
