“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors provided me with the same way 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 at 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 preconvinced 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 cyometry sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak. Who earned a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from DCCC in 1998, is in 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. By doing so, they will enjoy success during high school and throughout their lifetime.

“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

I think this quote means that if we do bad things it will lead us in the wrong way and to misery. But if you do the opposite and what’s right you can do what is right and that will lead you to the correct path and make you happy. But if you’re sinning all the time what is there left but just bad and no one wants that in life. So this also means that if you depart from doing right it will lead you to do bad things and many people get peer pressured by friends to do things that they don’t want to so always choose the right path what you know is right and just stick to that.

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 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 also allowed me to graduate in May 2010 with my associate degree totally paid for, “she said. “I couldn’t believe I had any 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:

Summary/Reflection

Summary/Reflection

Summary:

This sad story talks about a young 5^th grade girl who

 passed away. The reason for this was because she was involved in a school fight with another 5^th grader. But

 she passed away because she had a blunt-force trauma to the head which had clogged up a lot of blood. The doctors had done surgery on her and minutes after they were done she was still alive but a few minutes after sadly died. However, it was a foolish reason why she had gotten in a fight just for a young boy. Her name was Joanna she died at 9pm Friday.

Reflection:

This really is a tragic story because there was no need in fighting. You shouldn’t solve your problems with violence that’s why you have a mouth and you can talk about it instead.

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 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.

“The secret to achieve true success is found in your daily routine.”

Author Unknown

This statement means that if you want success in life you have to earn it by doing good things. For example, coming to school every day will help you in the future by getting a good job. The key to success is in your daily routine because whatever you do well is making up for it by making yourself successful. Furthermore, if you are doing badly in school and choosing the wrong that will not help you at all in the future. Finally, always do well no matter how much it takes in life it is worth it.

·       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 be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

“A nations treasure is in the people who do what’s right”

-Adapted Chinese Proverb

In my opinion this quote means that  in order for the world to be peaceful people have to work together in order to have greatness. However, people working together also have to be choosing the right because if the world is doing wrong then everything is not going to be in order and wrong. So what its saying is that if we are a treasure we people make it that way so it’s on us to make it great worth. In conclusion, in order for the nation to work we have to help each other and not be followers and doing bad.
