STUDENT SUCCESS STORY

PART 6

ANDREA PARKER ANTICIPATIONS GRADUATING 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 SPENDS HER DAYS 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 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 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. INVEST IN YOURSELF. GIVE YOURSELF OPPORTUNITIES OF A LIFETIME BY SUCCEEDING IN HIGH SCHOOL ON A SUPER HIGH NOTE. THEN YOU CAN: WRITE YOUR OWN STUDENT SUCCESS STORY.
