Academic Success Part 2

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was to be good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the

 Test by simply review the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throught out high school, but I never really had to put forth much effort to get the results that I wanted to see in college howeve, that changed. Not only did I start studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts My overall studying method: I do fall behind, I usually use the not in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volleyball, its tough because we are on the road a lot, but if I do another students in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry , I do practice problems to help me understand what the materials means.

You cant be a good person and a bad one at the same time you have to pick between being good or bad . being a good person always brings good things. 

Academic Success Part1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing classes, we had to come up with a product and sell it. My teacher ended up with couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than they needed since I was team leader I assigned them to certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individuals work without separating the group.

English, math, foreign language tips: Math basically just takes practice. I always tell students to take a blank piece of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learn or what your studying for in the class. If you don’t remember or start drawing blanks, then you need to study more and review your notes. Note cards work really well for foreign language. Here are my final words of wisdom for students who want to get better grades in college: Go to class, make friends with people in class just in case your absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

I Will Persist Until I Succeed

Part 1

Heather A.’s Academic Story

I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange note taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others.

My overall study method: I prefer to study in small groups and practice problems where I can work out the methods verbally with others.

My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on problems given in class as well as problems from power points and homework. When It comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different processes.

My time management secret: one of my biggest secrets is to look over the information that I learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little better than waiting until the night before the test.

How I deal with multiple projects tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value.”

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible. “After the car accident, I suffered from low self-esteem and depression,” she said. “For years, I allowed someone I loved to physically, mentally, and emotionally abuse me.

 

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academic challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn't know what to do.

As Quansheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation to transfer to Salem College, she can hardly believe she has a 3.3 grade point average and that she got accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective admissions policy.

It took two false starts before the 22-year-old Thomasville resident found her true calling, elementary education, and more importantly, before she found and reaffirmed the value of herself. She thought back to when she was only 18 years old but felt “overwhelmed by life.” She had just graduated from high school when she was in a serious car accident.

I almost killed myself, not by drinking and driving, not by partying, but because I was living that was overwhelming,” she said. One must work hard, but not waste time. Goofing off during school is a killer. It kills your achievement and your changes for outstanding success now and later.

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 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 technologist on cell identification,” said Mishak.

It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, it’s not Student success statement 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 sin, and when we depart from the path of righteousness we begin to do those things which will inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery and loss of freedom.”(N. Eldon Tanner)

In my opinion only logic  people will try and avoid the things they consider "sin." Many of them actually do the things that make them happy. Others continue doing things that make them unhappy. They choose who they want to be.

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 instructions in the DCC Early Childhood 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 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 in the time, study time. All the hard 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 neglected 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: write your own Student Success Story.

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 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.

"The most valuable asset you will ever have is your mind and what you put into it." { Anon } 

Many people seem to care for material things. We live in a world where knowledge isn't as important. Appearances and luxuries are far more valuable. People today only act based upon what they see. They fill their tiny brains with complete and utter nonsense. If people would grab and read a non-fictional book about Italy or outer space, instead than a magazine on the "hottest new celebrities" and their lives, they would gain a bit of knowledge. Our greatest talent is not knowing how to play a guitar or having the ability to fix our hair, but rather what we feed our well-rounded knowledge.

RE: Kimani Hunt, DCCC Student

         Effort and good work actually pays off. Kimani Hunt isn't just any ordinary basketball player. At Davidson Country Community College, Hunt is a perfect role model. Aside of being a skilled player, he is an academic champion. Many of us complain how time isn't enough and trying to find balance is quite difficult, but if Hunt can manage to stay at a 3.692 grade point average and still do so well on the court, so can we.
               Hunt in fact began to attract attention. Some recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio offered him a full scholarship there to play. He also tutored other players when it came to academic work. Kimani Hunt now hopes to pursue the career of sport management.

They Girl That Got Killed

In my opinion I think it was really stupid for her to get into a fight over a guy.! She was really young, and healthy I think, I think she should it of just leave it to the other girl. She was young couldn’t she wait till high school to “date”.!!

That’s why I say “you should always leave it to the thirsty chicks”(; Sometimes I think 5^th graders are just to small to be thinking about dating. They should focus in school, homework, or even playing barbies Who Knows.

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 for many people.

“The secret to achieve true success is found in your daily routine.”

               Author Unknown

If you show qualities of a sloth, why would you ever expect people to think you have plans for your future or that you want to become successful. Rather than staying home, flipping through the channels or waiting for a "miracle" to occur, you can get up and put on your best looking suit and schedule interviews. You can do this everyday. The more interviews you get across with, the higher the chances you have of companies to actually call you back and hire you.

·    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; citta 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 to 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 become honest. The activeness and thoughts that will feel your day are keys in living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

Do the math. Even if you’re struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options. It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

      Take math problems one step at a time.

 Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it much harder.

      Ask for help and study with friends if you are having problems understand a concept.
 

      The first point to understand in 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 extraordinary 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 now know how to decide.

“A nation’s treasure is in the people who do what’s right”

        [Adapted Chinese Proverb ]

Everybody knows, when people do what is merely ethical, they will feel “good” about themselves. Everybody knows it. For some odd reason, people do not “feel” like doing what they’re supposed to do, and do what they’re not supposed to do. It does in fact take more effort to “disobey the laws of any conductivity” rather than it than following them. I assume people just want extra work to do.
