“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.

· 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.

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 To Understand The Decisive Faculty Of The Mind, Without Which We Cannot Be Successful.

·     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.
