My great academic success: In my principles for 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 out 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, forgiven, 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 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 and initial 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 taken in class because sometimes other students pick up on 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 final 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 process.

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 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 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 o cripple my future. I have to learn 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 she 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 admissions policy.

It took too 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, and 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 chances for outstanding success now and later.

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 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 volunteering in phlebotomy or in the duties of my current job, which includes training new technologies 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 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 through their lifetime.

What this quote means is that people who sin can’t be happy with their selves they feel the guilt pushing down on them and they feel bad for what they have sinned for. And when a person isn’t happy they feel like they are locked up or berried in their lies.

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 baccleruraceate 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 and make them happy they invested in me.” She said.

Since August 2010, Packer, 20, has been working towards her bachelor’s degree in an early childhood education from Catawba College, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCC Davidson campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistance’s job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses.

·       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 experiences – 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 helpful for you.” Training the internal functions help us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without which we cannot be successful.

·       Watch what we do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about. If you think about nothing-you will have 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 you 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 might act 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 things 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 our mistakes will teach us.

- We must learn from the success and mistakes of others.  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 club.

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

Do the math. Even if you’re struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options. It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

·       Take math problems one step at a time.

·       Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.

·       Ask for help and study with friends if you are having trouble understanding a concept.

·       The first point to understand is the philosophy and science of decisions – 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 very quickly, but when the time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.
