You Will Go Far With CTR

hat this means is that when someone choosing the right they really love the life they live because it’s something inspiring to do. They just accomplish something in life. For example, if you choose the right and you get in trouble for something bad you will be a CTW person not a CTR because you just messed up all the rules you have done in life of choosing the right. Stay choosing the right 100% makes you feel like a good person in the inside. If only you stay choosing the right for a quiet long time you will go far with it because you stick with it.

ot a lot of people stick with it though. They don’t even have to try hard to choose the right because all you got to do is follow the right path and the rules to the path which isn’t that much. When you believe in yourself and know that you’re going to do something good in life you will just love the life you live and have all the freedom you want. Not mostly will it be freedom and stuff because when people have freedom they

take advantage and start doing the bad things in life. That is why many people that are around you that choose the right make you choose the right because it just is a wonderful feeling you’ll ever love. By going far and choosing the right you make yourself just feel like an accomplished person in life because you just did the right thing and followed the right path. You just need to have hope in yourself and keep telling yourself that you will go far and you will just live life. Just never give up because if you do you will fall down and not get back up which means that you won’t be able to start the right path so quick. It just depends on the person. So that is why you need to be 100% by choosing the right and you will be successful life.

“You will never regret doing what’s right.”

Anon

I strongly agree with this statement because you won’t ever in your life regret doing the right things because there’s nothing bad to it to be regretting things. Its only when you’re choosing the wrong you will start because you will just feel guilty and not want to choose the wrong. Many people now that choose the right are happy as they are because they feel like the good person.

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 notes in class usually sunk in enough for me to be able to get by on the tests by simply reviewing the material 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 studying and reading the book, but I began to understand that the little tiny facts were just as important as the general concepts. 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 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 the material means.

Academic Success

Part 1

My great academic success: In my principles of marketing class, we had to come up with a new product and sell it. My group ended with a couple supposedly bad students according to our teacher since they were 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 help 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 pice of paper and write everything you know about what you’ve learned or what you’re studying in this 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.

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

 - French Proverb

What the statement is trying to say is that when you choose the right and you go to your bed at night a lie on your pillow you just feel good inside, because every day you should wake up choosing the right path and not the wrong. When you choose the wrong it just shows no type of positive in you. It makes you feel like the bad person at night and you just realize all the bad things you have done that day or any other day.

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 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 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 same project and don’t even realize it.

Reflection: Drugs and alcohol are harmful for many teenagers. Many just choose that life. They do what they want to do and no one can stop them. People can but they decide to take their own path and just live life like that. There were about 15 percent of teens that were using drugs and that have tried using alcohol. There was just 16 percent of teenagers that were about 18 years young and they were abusing the drugs they were using. Some of them teenagers that do it really don’t care about their life. When they reach their adulthood that’s when they start getting addicted to things that they are not supposed to.

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 when 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 homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagram’s 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/tests: I try to work on whatever has the shortest deadline and work from there. My overallstudy method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

“Though I Graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors 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 rotations 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 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 1988, 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 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 honorably, its not difficult at all. All students need to do is study, put in 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.

“There is no happiness in sin, and when we depart from the path of righteousness we begin to do those things which will inevitably lead us to unhappiness and misery and loss of freedom.”                 - N. Eldon Tanner

This statement is pretty much saying that when people sin their isn't no happiness towards it. When you choose the right path that’s when happiness comes and takes over your life. When people take over your life of making you sin that’s when you also lose some of your freedom in your life because everyone sin's but yet still have your freedom in life. So it's like when you begin to do bad things in life thats when you lose freedom and leads to unhappiness and misery in life. That is why many people need to choose the right and follow the right path.

Packer spends her day on the Davidson Campus working 29 hours a week as 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 so 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 demonstrate 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 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 they 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.

Summary

This death that happened in southern California about this one 10-year old getting beat was really bad. They were just 5^th graders that were choosing the wrong and then the deadly part happened. They had fought for a boy and in my opinion I don’t think that’s right because then no one will end up with each other. Once they ended the fight the girl was rushed to the hospital and died there because of the force the other girl had put towards her. Another reason why she died was because her heart stopped because she had blood clots all over especially in her brain. That’s why theres a reason why you need to choose the right at all times. Once you choose the wrong you become a bad person and that’s not good because you get known for that.

Part 8

·       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 experience – then we come 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 to 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 nothing you will become 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 your adult life.

·       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 decision—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.
