“Though I graduate from an associate degree program, I felt that instructors provided me with the same theory and knowledge and those student completing their bachelor’s degree program in clinical laboratories 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 FWUBMC, I think this strong foundation in laboratory science enabled me to dispel many of my preconceived ideas about MLTs regarding their education an 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 f the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytomery sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in medicinal laboratory technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from DCCC to be accepted into physician’s assistants 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 at the lab of Children’s Health care of Atlanta.

“I learned pretty much everything that I needed to learn about laboratory science at DCCC.  Many of the clinical applications that I learned there I still use today, either in my medical volunteering, phlebotomy, or in duties of my current job, which includes training new technologists on cell identification, ”said Mishak.

It’s 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 life time

“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 the 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 is to 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 other, then they can except 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 life time by succeeding in high school on a supper high not. Then you can:

“There is no happiness in sin and when 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.”

Reflection: This quote means that when you do something wrong you won’t feel happiness in life. When you do something right you will have the burden of freedom and that is what almost all people want in life is freedom. So always choose the right   and never do anything that you will regret doing in life.

I think that it’s cool how he is able to play sports and attend school and still maintain good grades when some people who aren’t even in sports and aren’t participating in anything, are failing. He is a perfect example of a person who chose the right and is still continuing to choose the right. He had consequences for choosing the right and those consequences were good, because when you choose the right you will always get good consequences and when you choose the wrong you have bad consequences and you must pay the penalty at all costs.

What I think about the situation with Joana Ramos is that she is going to miss out in all of the things that life can offer because she wanted to fight with another little girl, because if a boy. I think that this is a perfect example of choosing the wrong because if she had won and she hadn’t died what would she have gained from it, she wouldn’t have gotten his attention, the only thing that she would have gained from the fight was a black eye. the fight wouldn’t have made her more popular, she’s a 5^th grader, if anything people would ignore her for doing something that foolish.

Katie Watkins, a stand out storm volleyball player for two years, now spending their 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 I 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 won’t open up for other 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 so dependent on others. when we study the four functions of the mind – buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principle of identity; chitta, the store house of impressions; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensations of experience – when we become aware of power of they will. Will power is that something within us that comes forward and says, “do this. It will be helpful for you.” Training for 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 then you will become nothing. if you think about being a great student- you will become a great student. If you think about being honest then you will become honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your 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 it correctly, accurately understanding the situation properly, they suddenly loose there confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same thing that we want. Time is valuable in the external world. a tender bamboo can easily be bent, but if you 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 great and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after theirs. Also, on the other hand, when you see other students failing miserably, learn how there doing it and AVOID doing what they are doing or else you will join them in the failure club.

·       Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school. Don’t waste valuable time.

What will I do to graduate from High school

What I will do to graduate from high school is simple, I would:

1. Do my homework for all of my classes before the due date, but turn it in at the last possible second

2. Ask a teacher for extra credit even if I have a good grade in class, just to make sure that I have an A+.

3. Always be on time for classes because if I arrive late I will miss knowledge that I need for tests and homework.

4. I will make sure if there are any future projects, and if there are I will pair myself with someone smart.

5. I will study for all of my tests and projects, and I won’t study them at the last minute and I also won’t do them alone, I will study with others to make sure that I get a good grade.

6. I will join many clubs and after school activities so that I wouldn’t be doing things that I shouldn’t, be occupied, and put it on my résumé.

7. I will take good notes in class does that when there is a test I will have all of the information that I need so that I can get a good grade?

8. I will complete all of my volunteer hours before I need to turn them in before their due.

9. If I don’t understand something I will raise my hand and then ask my teacher if she could help me out.

And I continue to do all of these things will surely get all of my credits for all
