“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors 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 WFUBMC, I think this strong foundation in laboratory science enable 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 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 assistants school.

In August 2011,Mishak will begin studying at Emory University in Atlanta to become a physicians assistant.

He says DCCC prepared him well to transfer to Winston-Salem 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 need to know about laboratory science at DCCC. Many of the chemical 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 in cel identification,” said Mishak.

It is pretty easy to be successful in school. If students work hard and honorably, its  not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in the time:its as simple as that.if students arentbwilling to study now, it will be very difficult to develop .

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement

“There is no happiness in 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

Reflection: I think that this statement is true because once we know something about our path then we do start to do something stupid in life and lose all of our freedom. Then we will regret it and won’t want to live in the path any more.

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 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 had my first degree, and I was debt free. What a wonderful blessing!”

If students work hard during high school, complete al l 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 scholarships and other opportunities, and they will suffer in the short and long term. Invest in yourself. Give yourself opportunities off a lifetime by succeeding in high school on a super high note. Then you can: write your own Student Success Stories:

Andrea Packer- without the prestigious DCCC presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Parker, 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, 20, 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.
