“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

Reflection: Basically all it means is when you regret it’s because you’re not happy with the choice you made, but when you choose the right, you will never have to worry about having regret. Your CTR will help you achieve greater if you’re not happy, no one will take you seriously, you won’t get a job, or wife, blah blah, etc. but you will need it because it’s all about what you do as a human being and how you feel.

Laura B.’s Academic Success Story

In high school I was one of the good students who didn’t really have to study to be a good student. The information that I took for notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get on the tests by simply reviewing the material just before the class began. It wasn’t that I didn’t try, I had a 4.0 all throughout high school, but I never really had to put forth much an effort to get the results that     I wanted to see. In college however, 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 study method: I do the reading that is required for the classes, and I try to keep up. If I do fall behind, I usually use the reading that I did not get to as an additional study aid. I take good notes 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 miss class because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

Reflection: This quote means that you cannot choose the right and the wrong at the same time. It is between right, and between wrong, the only thing you need is too always choose the right so you don’t need to have darkness in your life. When you hear about it, all you can do is go to the light, and stray from the darkness, theyre will be more choices to choose the right but you need to make sure your path to success is bright, because if not how else would you get to your goals?

My great academic success: In my principals of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended up with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were the last ones picked. In the end, they helped out more than needed since I was team leader I assigned them certain pieces of the project that became solely their responsibility. Delegating work always helps since it allows a group member individual 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 learned or what you’re studying for the class. If you don’t remember everything 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 you’re absent, and remember that you should want to learn.

How I’ve overcome an initial bad grade: When receiving a bad grade. I just try to do better on the second exam and study harder. It’s hard when you have your first test in a class and have no idea what to expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignments: Start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, with written assignments, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain number of pages done by a certain day before the paper is due

How I succeed in team projects: COMMUNICATION!  Despite your group synergy, communication is crucial. I remember I ran out of cell phone minutes constantly when working on a group project for my marketing research class. It’s really important that everyone is on the same page and getting the same emails. The worst is when two people are working on the same portion of the project and don’t even realize it.

Heather A.’s Academic Success Story

In high school, I didn’t study as much in groups as I do in college. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchange notes when taken in class because other students pick up on more 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 you just learned when class is over. After reviewing the information, it sticks a little bit better than waiting until the night before the test.

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

The Metamorphosis of Narcissus: Salvador Dali

Well, in Greek mythology it says that, Narcissus 

fell in love with his own reflection in a pool. 

Unable  to embrace the watery image, he pined 

away, and the gods immortalized him as a 

flower.  They mean he thought too highly of 

himself so they make him grow and wait as a 

flower.  The feeling or mood would be too 

grow, to not beself-absorbed to view life. Dali's

 paintings are very intresting surrealism let's 

people express views in a way where you show 

both opinion and artwork. He does very good

As time progresses it will seem natural giving you the satisfaction of you well doing, a good conscience. Once you believe what you’re doing is right, and feels right, you will be happy. You can live in harmony with what you’re doing and how good you feel about yourself.

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 was accepted into the prestigious private college with a selective 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 a life 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 chances for outstanding success now and later.

“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 as DCCC prepared me to succeed at every challenge that I faced. Since I was among the 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 of working as a medical laboratory technician at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, he was promoted to a Hematology Analytical Specialist position.

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 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 Mastery 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 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, completing 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, mistreat others, then they can expect to fall short of what could have been their rewards of scholarships and their opportunities, and they will suffer in the short and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities of a life time by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can:

With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester and a cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb. 18^th, Hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball. Named to the 1^st team All Freshmen in 2009-2010, Hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and District H Champion teams, and he played with the Storm in last year’s 2010 HJCAA National Championship tournament. “Kimani Hunt has been a leader for us the last few years both on and off the court,” said DCCC Storm Head Coach Matt Ridge. “His high standard of excellence has helped us win many games, but it’s also helped him achieve a lot of success in the classroom, and we are certainly proud of him.” Ken Kirk, DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimani is a kind and considerate student athlete. He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as 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 pursue a career in sports management.

1. What could you have done to better take advantage of learning experiences offered by being involved with this fundraiser? I would have maybe done a better job at selling, I could have maybe gone to even more places, and asked a few members of my family to participate to get the word spread. 
2. What could the adults around you have done to help you get more out of this fundraising experience? I think they could have listened, and not ignore what I was saying because when I was selling lots of people ignored me and kept walking. They should have at least stopped and asked about it, not just be a bad person and walk away.

The girl was in a fight, and after she suffered a blunt-force trauma. The girl than died at 9 p.m. The way she died, was very unfortunate, she didn't deserve to die that young. It was all caused by a boy, she didn't have to fight for him, the only punishment there is now is for the boy and girl she fought, all the guilt. Those two kids will have to realize that they need to act properly, to refuse fights, especially over the boy. The kids also shouldn't be harassed as criminals, the kids are young they don't know what they're doing.

·       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 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 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.

Tempe, Arizona, club shooting: 14 left helpless

Tempe, Arizona, club.

The whole club was all a bad situation. It went from a harmless nightclub to a shootout. 14 people were hurt while hundreds decided to run away from the scene. I wouldn't say nightclubs are bad, but they can be dangerous, everyone is some aspect is dangerous. The real criminal here is the one who had the gun, and shot, because you can’t blame someone who just wanted to have fun, you blame the person who brought the gun. While I would say alcohol are bad, they shouldn't be blamed for everything. Yes they may be a factor, but it was someone with a gun, it wasn't the victims fault. There was two suspects and so far only one was caught the other got away. The suspect they caught was being held on thirteen counts of aggravated assault, and one count of assisting street gangs. The whole issue should be that someone had and gun, and hurt innocent people. It should be focused on alcohol is bad, it should be more on the subject of guns being bad.

· 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 understood 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 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 how they do it and AVOID doing what they do or else you will join them in the failure’s club.
