“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 MI.T. students to make through WFUBMC, I think this strong foundation in laboratory science enabled me to dispel many of my 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 overstretch of the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytomery sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MI.T 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 200. 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 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 mistery and loss of freedom.”

What this quote means is that people who sin can’t be happy with their selves they feel the guilt pushing down on them and they feel bad for what they have sinned for. And when a person isn’t happy they feel like they are locked up or berried in their lies.

Andrea Parker anticipates graduating with a B.A. in Education from Catawba in December 2011 and then enrolling in the Master of Acts 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 2011 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 during high school, complete all assignments on time, and demonstrate a bright, positive attitude towards school, learning and other people, that they can be highly successful as a high school student and qualify for academic scholarship also. 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:

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 pursing 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 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.

·       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 experiences – 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 we do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about. If you think about nothing-you will have 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 you adult life.

·        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 you 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 the 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 help and study with friends if you are having trouble understanding a concept.

·       The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decisions – 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 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.
