“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 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 WFUMBC, I think this strong foundation in laboratory science enabled me to dispel many of the preconceived ideas about MLT’s 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 has worked in the lab at Childern’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 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.

“There is no happiness in sin, and when we depart from the path of rightness we begin to do those things which will inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery and loss of freedom”

                                                                             -N. Eldon Tanner

---

This quote is a quote that everyone should learn and take into consideration. Doing horrible, bad, malicious things will not make you happy. When you start doing bad things the results will make you unhappy. Doing bad, choosing the wrong is harming yourself because you will be unhappy. You will lose your freedom if you depart from the path of rightness because by sinning or choosing the wrong like harming someone or doing drugs you will end up in jail with no freedom what so ever. Stay in the path of rightness and you will be happy you will feel better and have freedom.

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 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, 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 long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can:

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 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 to convince 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.

Summary:
In Long Beach at Willard Elementary School , there was a school fight in which Joanna Ramos age of 10 just a fifth grader resulted dead.  She was taken to the hospital where she got surgery on her brain due to a blood clot, she was still alive after surgery but died after a few minutes, her heart stopped. She died from a blunt trauma to the head.

Reflection:
This event is tragic, dying over a fight which could have been avoided is so sad. She was only 10 years old, she still had a whole life to live. This is an example of why you shouldn’t choose the wrong, it leads to bad tragic things. If she would have chosen the right and not notified someone about she would off still been alive. Choose the right it leads to good and successful things in life.

Watkins is a May 2012 candidate to receive her Associates 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.

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

Summary:  
At a nightclub at the state of Arizona on a Friday night there was a shooting. The shooting resulted in 14 people hurt, 12 with minor injuries, and two were seriously hurt, none had life threatening injuries. The police have one arrested charged with 13 counts of aggravation assault and one count of assisting criminal street gang. They are still on the look for two other suspects.

Reflection:
In my opinion this is a very tragic thing. The victims were just trying to have fun and cruel people attempt to take their life away. The choose the wrong no one has the right to take someone else’s life away. The people responsible should spend a lot of years in jail. This is a good example of why you should choose the wrong because if you don’t you will end up in jail with no freedom. Always choose the right and avoid tragic things like this.

•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. Time is valuable in the external world. A tender bamboo can be easily bent, but if we try to bend a mature bamboo, it will break. That which we have to do today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.
•We must learn from the successes and mistakes of others. When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after their’s. 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 a failure’s club.
•Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waste valuable time.

•Take math problems one step at a time.
•Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.
•Ask for helping 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 extraordinarily brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

"A nation's treasure is in the people who do what's right"
                                   -Adapted Chinese Proverb 

This quote can inspire many to do what is right and it may also inspire nationalism. The nation is the people, so the people's action reflect on the nation. Therefore a nation who's people choose the right is a treasure. A nation who has people choosing the right is far way more valuable than a nation who has people to choose the wrong. A nation with people who live by choosing the right is a better place, that makes all people want to live there. To be great choose the right,and have a nation of treasure.

What I Will Do to Graduate

“What I Will Do to Graduate from High School”




Graduating from high school is something you must accomplish. I will graduate from high school. Graduating from high school is important because it is what will get you into college. Graduating high school is also the first step to success. I come from a latino community where most of us are not expected to graduate, so we must try and put in all we have to prove them wrong. To me and I am sure to many other graduating high school will be the first step to making our dreams come true.
Since the first day I started high school I’ve been giving it my all to graduate. I will not receive no grade lower than a “C”. I must try my hardest to obtain an “A” in every class. I want to give it my all, and prove I am a hard working student who tries her best and puts in hard effort to accomplish what she desires. In order to obtain that “A” in my class I will pay attention and no talk and interrupt. I will do all assignments and try my hardest on them. I will turn in everything on time and be on time to class. I will not slack off.
In order to graduate high school I will also behave and choose the right. I will go to school every day. I will not miss class. I also will not get in trouble. My behavior will be excellent.
I am going to join as many extracurricular activities as I can. For example I will join sports such as volleyball. I will also join clubs that help out my community like the humanitarians club. I will also join leadership, which helps my school and shows my leader skills.
I will give it my all put in all my hard work and effort to accomplish my goal and graduate high school my first step to being successful.
