Chris mishak,

Chris mishak, who earned a degree in medical laboratory technology “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. It is pretty easy to be successful in school. Is students work hard and honorably it’s not difficult at all. All students need to do is to study, put In the time, it’s a 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.

reflection: i think it means if you are choosing the right and then you go out of your path you are gonna choose the wrong because your not gonna think the same way.

Andrea packer anticipates 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, 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 scholarship 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 except to fall short of what could have been their rewards of scholarships and their 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.

• what could you do to help solve this issue?
• do you think we have this issue or similar ones here in the U.S? explain why or why not. 

1. one issue that i saw was when the kids were used to sell drugs or get in to gangs.  
2. well i cant do nothing because i don't have the resources that i need. 
3. not really because right here the kids get help from people all around the world. they teach them how to make the right decisions  and to always choose the right because your present depends on your future. in Mexico people cant get the same help because the majority are poor and if the people go that help kids in the U.S are just going to waste their time because the kids are going to do the same thing because that's the only way to live over there.

listen and ask questions. Still afraid of looking stupid? Don’t worry about it. If you’ve got a question about something, chances are your classmates do too.

-          Review your notes and assignments before class.

-          Give your teacher your full attention and concentrate on what is being said.

-          Relate the topic to what you already know and listen for main ideas.

-          Make eye contest with your teacher and takes notes.

-          Ask questions if you don’t understand, but try not to interrupt your teacher. Raise your hand or wait until your teacher pauses or asks for questions.

·         Get organized

·         Use good study habits

·         Learn how to take test

·         Believe in yourself

 

Some experts say 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 assignments, and always carry it

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

ü  Use scribblers to put you 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 assignments for you when you are absent form 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 said; it will be easier to absorb the info being presents.

ü  Keep your bookshelf, desk and kitbag neat.

ü  Be prepared for each class, bringing the materials you need to class (including pencil and paper).
