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 RE VIEWING THE MATERIAL JUST BEFORE THE CLASS BEGAN. IT WASN’T THAT I DIDN’T TRY, I HAD A 4.0 ALL THROUGH OUT 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 CONSEPTS. MY OVERALL STUDY METHOD: I DO THE READING THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE CLASSES, AND 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, ITS TOUGH BECAUSE WE ARE ON THE ROAD A LOT, BUT IF I DO MISS CLASS 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.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS

PART 1

MY GREAT ACADEMIC SUCCESS: IM 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 AXCCORDING 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, 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 TOU SHOULD WANT TO LEARN.

“THERE IS NO PILLOW SO SOFT AS A CLEAR CONSCIENCE”

FRENCH PROVERB

SUMMARY: THIS QUOTE MEANS THAT IF YOU DID SOMETHING HORRIBLE IT’S GOING TO STAY ON YOUR CONSCIENCE TILL YOU REVEAL WHAT YOU DID. IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING BAD MEANS THAT IN THE NIGHT YOU SLEEP REALLY GOOD. WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING YOU DID SOMETHING YOUR CONSCIENCE IS GOOD AND IF IT’S THE OPPOSITE YOUR CONSCIENCE WANTS TO TELL EVERYTHING TO THAT PERSON.

I WILL PERSIST UNTIL I SUCCEED

PART 2

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 ESIER 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 STTING A XCERTAIN 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 MINUETES 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 PRJECT AND DON’T EVEN REALIZE IT.

Part 1

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 FINANCIAL TESTS, I TRY TO WORK ON PROBLEMS GIVEN IN CLASS AS WELL AS PROBLEMS FROM POWER POINTS AND HOME WORKS. 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/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 MATERIAL.

"THE MATAMORPHOSIS OF NARCISSUS"

 

1. IN THE TWO VERSIONS I SEE THAT ONE HAS MOUNATAINS AND HOUSES AND IN THE OTHER ONE I SEE THAT HE IS HOLDING A EGG AND HE IS IN THE POND OR LAKE.
2. THE MOOD OF THIS PAINTING IS THAT HE IS CARING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DELICATE.
3. MY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS PAINTING IS THAT HE MAKES US THINK ABOUT THE DECRIPTIONS NOT LIKE OTHERS THAT GIVE IT AWAY EASILY.

"SWANS REFLECTING ELEPHANTS"

 

 

 

What I see in this picture is  the three swans in front of bleak, leafless trees are reflected in the lake so that the swans' heads become the elephants' heads and the trees become the bodies of the elephants.

The feeling of this picture is very amazing because how the swans bodies reflect to the elephants heads which is unusual and unique. How he focus the paint and the descriptions like no other has.

AS KENNEDY LAY CRUMPLED IN HER HOSPITAL BED FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT, SHE REALIZED THAT MANY OF HER WOUNDS WERE INVISIBLE. “AFTER 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 TKE COSMETOLOGY CLASES. SHE LEFT SCHOOL A SECOND TIME AND BEGAN WORKING AS A CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT.

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 PRIVITE COLLEGE WITH A SELECTIVE ADMISSINS POLICY.

IT TOOK TWO FALSE STARTS BEFORE THE 22-YEAR-OLD THOMASVILLE RESIDENT FOUND HER TRUE CALLING, ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, AND MRE 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 ACHIEVEMENT AND YOUR CHANCES FOR OUTSTANDING SUCCESS NOW AND LATER.

THOUGH I GRADUATED FROM AN ASSOCIATE PROGRAM, I 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 THEM IN TROUBLE DURING HIGH SCHOOL. BY DOING SO, THEY WILL ENJOY SUCCESS DURING HIGH SCHOOL AND THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFETIME.

IF STUDENTS WORK HARD DURING HIGH SCHOOL, COMPLETE ALL ASSIGNMENTS ON TIME, AND DEMESTRATE A BRIGHT, POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD SCHOOL, LEARNING, AND OTHER PEOPLE, THEN THEY CAN BE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AND QUALIFY FOR ACADAMIC SCHOLAR SHIP 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 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.

·     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. 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 setback 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.

 

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