“Though I graduated from an associated 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 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 has worked in the lab at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

“I learned pretty much everything that I needed to know about the 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.

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 on 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructor in the DCCC Early Childhood Education program.

“Not only did receiving this scholarship make me study harder and be the best I could, 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 towards 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 time, study time. They will be rewarded for their 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, than 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.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-year-old who works in team 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.”

·      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 became 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 become a great student. If you think about being honest- you will be honest.

What are some issues you see in your community that need attention ?

Some issues that i see in my community that need attention are, when people get bullied but no one does anything about it. People, should really help to stop bullying . Another issue is that there is a lot of homeless people, people that don't even have clean water to drink.You should try and help , by donating stuff you don't need. That would really help the community . Everyone should help at least a little bit, to help your community.

·       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. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same things we are. 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. We may have a setback if we make a 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.

They do not know how to decide.

Global Issues Reflection:

• I believe that one of the global issues is that not enough teenagers are going to high school or college. If more teenagers were able to go to college there would be less poverty in this world. They would be able to get a career and get a good job, or at least a job that would pay them enough money.
•  To solve this problem, everyone should get the chance to go to college. None should, not get the chance to get an education.
• I think that this issue, is not only here in the United States. This issues, is all over the world, in many different countries and states. 

• What is Poverty ?

Noun. The state or condition of having a little or no goods or means of support; condition of being poor. Synonyms: neediness, destitution, indigence, pauperism, penury. Antonyms: riches, wealth, plenty.

• Where do you see poverty in your community?

You see poverty in downtown LA. That is usually were everyone goes.

• Think about the facts and statistics we discussed. What did you already know ?

I already knew that Latinos, are the most in poverty. I knew that because Latinos are always the ones that get get a job, or cant apply for college, so they end up in poverty.

Some experts say the difference between good students and poor students isn’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students aren’t mainly ability. Instead, it’s how students organize themselves to use their abilities. A little organization can produce amazing results!

Get Organized:

ü Have a homework agenda or scribbler to keep track of your assignments, and always carry it.

ü Ask the teacher for some outside help when the classroom explanation is not adequate for you.

ü Use scribblers to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

ü Have phone numbers for classmates, especially of one who will be your “homework buddy”. This is someone in your class who collects hand-outs and assignments for you when you are absent from school. You can barrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for your friend.

ü Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

ü Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being said’ it will be easier to absorb the information being presented.

ü Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kitbag neat.

ü Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencils and paper).
