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 by on the test 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 have to put forth much of an effort to get the results that I wanted to see. In college however, the 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, it’s tough because of volleyball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in class. Also, for a subject such as chemistry, I do practice problems to help me understand what the material means.

Academic Success

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles 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 become 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 in 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: G!O 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 expect. The second one is usually easier since you know what to expect from your teachers.

My strategies for written assignment: start early and make sure that you have it proofread. Also, which written assignment, 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 much in groups as I do in high school. I feel I learn better when I can teach other people information and we can exchanges notes taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on more important information than others. My test study method: I have very different techniques. For financial test, 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 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.

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy decided she was made for a purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “With determination and mindset that I would not fail with God leading me.”

She says her first semester back was difficult. “I knew I could find refuge in the student success program,” Kennedy said. “To my benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. 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.”

She had previously tried taking a few DCCC classes, but said she was immature and not ready for academy challenge. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school at second time and began working as a certified nursing assistant.

“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, if felt that my instructor 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 hat my formal education at DCCC prepared me to succeed at very challenge that I faced. Since I was the among first MLT students to rotate though 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 specials 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 Health care of Atlanta.

“I learned pretty much everything that I need 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 the students need to do 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.

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 day on the Davidson campus working 29 hours a week as a teaching assistant for instructors in the DCCC Early Childhood 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 have 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 scholarship 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 scholarship and their opportunities, and 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:

·         Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive 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 store house 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 that comes forward and says, “Do this. It will be help full 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. 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.

·         Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. But they always say, “Well, I knew it. I understood the key, but did not act in time.” Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a word 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 seatback 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 theirs. 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.

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

Get organized:

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

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

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

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 borrow your buddy’s notes when you return to school, and you can do the same for this friend.

Ask questions you are unsure of something.

“Be wise-Never Use Drugs or Alcohol”

Always be wise when doing these kinds of things that you are doing within your life because you can have a high risk of dying by doing drugs or alcohol. Make sure to always be wise when choosing what you want to do. Never use drugs and/or alcohol because you can die or go to the hospital for not being wise.  And if you do decide to be wise about it, then you won’t have any of these problems in your life and actually live your life all the way through. Also some people want to fit in with everybody else, so that’s why they start doing drugs and also start drinking alcohol so it can make them look cool in front of everyone. But they don’t know what can actually happen to them, like them going to the hospital, or possibly dying by too much drugs and alcohol. So never ever do drugs or drink any type of alcohol, because it’s possible to cause death or even go to the hospital. It’s already happen to everyone else.

Whether studying or in general life, planning is an imperative skill. Here, we must strictly set the hours for studying, and should promote regularity in doing so. Don’t put off your studies to the last moment (just before the test), because in that moment you will be feeling stress and pressure, and both factors will probe disturbing for your learning; that’s the high price of procrastination. During the exam, it’s important to forget about panic and stress. And if you are planning for your thesis, you may find this post useful. Other planning tip I frequently give is that, when you are assigned a homework, try to solve it as quickly as possible, several days before the required date, but don’t try to complete it perfectly and don’t submit it immediately. I always recommend doing homework early, but deliver it at the last possible day.

Other chief habit is that of asking questions. We have to establish hypothesis and set concrete, realistic goals. After reading any text we have to ask several different questions related to its content, in order to verify if we have completely understood the text.
