Heather A.’s Academic success story

In high school, I didn’t study much in groups as I do in high school. I feel I learned better when I 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 homework. When it comes to marketing classes, I review my notes and try to make diagrams to describe different process. 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 overall study method: I tend to do massive studying blocks of about an hour or so in order to really learn the material.

“You have only always to do what is right. It will become easier by practice, and you enjoy in the midst of your trials the pleasure of an approving conscience.”

After some serious soul-searching, Kennedy she was made for purpose: to be successful and to fulfill who she was destined to be. She returned to DCCC “with determination and mindset that I would not fail God leading me.”

She says her semester back was difficult. “To my benefit, Ms. Gravely accepted me back. Because of my struggles and hard time, I seek a new beginning every day and don’t allow the past to cripple my future. I have learned to have self-value.”

As Kennedy lay crumpled in her hospital be following the accidents, she realized that many of her wounds were invisible.” After the 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 a few DCCC classes, but she said she was immature and not ready for academic challenges. She dropped out. After the accident, she returned to DCCC to take cosmetology classes. She left school a second time and bean working as a certified nursing assistant. After yet another car accident, she felt unstable, hopeless, and didn’t know what to do.

“Though I graduated from an associate degree program, I felt that my instructors provided with me 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 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. This involves oversight of the hematology, coagulation, and flow cytometry sections of the laboratory.

Chris Mishak, who earned a degree in medicine 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 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 worked in the lab at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. 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 identifications 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 now, 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.
