You can succeed in school if you will

Part 1

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’s assistant 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 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 life.

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 in 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 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 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 if a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can:
