“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,” Misak 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 MTL 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 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 volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, which includes training new technologies on cell identification,” said Miskah.

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 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 time.

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

N. Eldon Tanner

When someone does something wrong they will never feel happy about it. Maybe at first they will but the happiness wont last. When someone begins to do what is wrong continuously it will lead to unhappiness, misery and loss of freedom. Because of the wrong decisions one makes constantly one will have negative effects.

Andrea Packer anticipates graduating with a B.A. in Education from Catawba in December 2011 and the 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 teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood Education program.

“Not only did receiving this scholarship make me study harder and be the beast 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 and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a lifetime by succeeding on a super high note.  Then you can:

Andrea Packer – Without the prestigious DCCC Presidential  Scholarship she won 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 my education, and I am going to continue to do my best to make them happy that they have invested in me,” she said.

Since August 2010, Packer, 20, has been working towards 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.

Poverty and Living Providently

1. How much money would you like to earn for year?

• I am not sure how much money I would like to earn per year. I still need to think about what career I want. Also what kind of life I want to have and if I will be able to afford it with the career I want to have. 

2. Why would you like to earn this money?

• Like I said, I am not sure how much I want to earn yearly. I want to earn enough money so that can pay for my bills, my house, a car,and  life insurance. I would also like to have enough money to afford other things that are not necessary like internet, or cable. Also I would like to have enough money so that I can afford the things I need/want now and have some money left to earn to travel once I am older. I would also like to have enough money to help other people and yet enjoy my wealth that I worked for.

"True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse." (Pathros)
I  think this means that in the end (like once your dead) money is going to stay here, you won't be able to take it or do anything with it after your death. Unlike if you are happy and help others be happy, and do what is right you will be remembered and maybe someone else that is living after your death will try to be like you and etc.    People will look at you, and be inspired by your actions and your heart and not your money. Money is needed in our society but what matters most is what you do with the money that you have.

He goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of an assignment while being a full-time student.”

Noah earned professional certifications in A+, NET+ and Security+ in 2010-20111 and will receive his CCNA certification in the summer.

He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to career in sports management.

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 a 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.

                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; chittta, the storehouse of impressions; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensations and experience – the we became aware of the power of 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. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.
