Academic Success part 2

Academic Success part 2 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 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 of 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, miss class because of volleyball, its tough 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. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

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 new product and sells 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, and 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: 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 except 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 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 Academy 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 taken in class because sometimes other students pick up 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 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.

"You have only always to do what is right. It will become eaier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience."

When your conscience is dirty you feel as if you can not move on. you feel bad inside and feel you did something that is not right. So you always try to have a clear conscience

After some serious-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 a 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 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.

“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 at DCCC prepared me to succeed at every challenge that I faces. 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 working as a medical laboratory technician at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, he was promoted to a Hematology Analytical Specialist position. This involves oversight of the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytometry sections of the laboratory.

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 in my current job, which includes training new technologist 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 him in trouble in 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 master of the arts in teaching programs from Salem College, also offered on the Davison 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 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:

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, 20, has been working toward her bachelor’s degree in the 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 one step to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spend her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned in the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21 year old who works in terms with her classmates in problem- based nursing exercise. “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 associative 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 to accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for 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.

·       Student 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 on time.”  Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain 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, and if we try to bend a mature bamboo, it will break. That we have to today, we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have to setback if we make a wrong decision, but our mistake will teach us.

·       We must learn from success and mistakes of others. When we see others students succeeding gradually and honorably, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after their’s. 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 a failure’s club.

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

·     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 understanding a concept.

·        The first point to understand is 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 extraordinarily brilliant people who understand things quickly, but when the time comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They don’t know how to decide.
