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 materials 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 reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concept. 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 didn’t get to as an additional study aid I take good notes in class and actually attend every class that I can. Sometimes, with volley ball I make sure that I get the notes from another student in the class.

Academic success part 1

My great academic success: in my principal of the market 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 became solely their responsibility. Delegate 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 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 you should want to learn.

“There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience”

What the French proverb is trying to say is that there is nothing more comfortable that following your conscience. If you have a clear conscience and you know if its good than you do it but if it’s a bad conscience don’t do it

How I’ve overcome an 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 assignment, having a timeline planned out can help like by setting a certain day before the page 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 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 in 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 method: I have very difficult techniques. For financial tests, I try to work on 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 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 project/test: 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 materials.

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 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 benefits, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard times, I seek new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-valued.”

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital bed following the accident, she realized that many of her wounds were visible. “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 was immature and not ready for academic challenges. 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 Quanssheeba Kennedy reviews her DCCC transcript in preparation 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 two 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, 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 achievements and your chances for outstanding success now and later

“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors provided me with the same theory and acknowledge as those students completing their bachelor’s degree program in clinical laboratory science,” Mishak added.

“When I started my clinical rotation 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 student 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.

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in medical laboratory technology from DCCC in 1998, is the second MLT graduate from DCCC to be accepted in to 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 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 as simple as that. If the students aren’t willing to study now, it will be very difficult to develop that 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 anticipated graduation 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 spend 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 off,” 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 demonstrated 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 scholarships also. All they need to do is put in the time, study time. All the work and effort during high school will definitely pay off. They will be rewarded for their hard work. But if they just mess around their high school years and neglect their studies, use drugs, and mistreat others, then they can axpect to fall short of what could have been their reward of scholarships and other opportunities, and they will suffer in the short and long term.  Invest In yourself.

·       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 principal of identity; chitta, the store house of impressions; and manas, the importer and exporter of sensation 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 helpful for you.” Training the internal functions helps us 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 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 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 correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition: someone else is always trying to attain the same thing we are. Si 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 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 club

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 problems 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 and opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

Right now school is stressful and I missed some homework now what I am going to try to do is work hard and get a reminder to do my homework. I have an F on science so what I’m going to try to do is go to her class after school or during lunch to do extra credit work there. I’m going to try and not get sick and be absent because if I’m absent I am missing assignments and I get bad grades and then I don’t graduate. It is going to be hard to do all this but I can probably manage to do all of this in no time. If I don’t succeed then I will be mad at myself for not choosing the right. If I manage to do all this then I will graduate and I will be choosing the right. And if I graduate I can try to go to college and get a job and a house.

ü  Get organized

ü  Use good study habits

ü  Learn how to take a test

ü  Believe in yourself

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

Get organized:

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

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

ü Use scribbler to put your notes in, and keep them organized.

ü 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 assignment 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.

ü Ask questions when you are unsure of something.

ü  Pay attention in class as it is very easy to let your mind wander. Take notes, concentrate on what is being absorbed the information being presented.

ü Keep your bookshelf, desk, and kit bag neat.

ü Be prepared for each class, bringing the material you need to class ( including pencils and paper)
