Andrea Packer- without the prestigious DCCC Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Packer, a 2010 DCCC honor graduate, says she doubts she would already be pursing her baccalaureate degree from Catawba College. “I cannot say thank you enough to whomever paid for my education, and I am going to continue to do my best to make them happy that they invested in me,” she said.

Since August 2010, Packer, 20, has been working toward her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Catawba College, and she doesn’t have to leave DCCC’s Davidson campus to do so. She said she likes the convenience of leaving her teaching assistant’s job in one DCCC building and walking only steps to her evening Catawba classes where she is taking history, statistics and education courses.

He goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of an assignment while being a full-time student.” Noah earned a professional certification in A+, NET+ and Security+ in 2010-2011 and will receive his CCNA certification in the summer. In addition, he implemented the deployment of Windows 7 using Server 2008 in the DCCC computer lab without the help of instructors.

Kimani hunt, 19, a Dean’s list student at Davidson County Community College, is a standout 6’5” player on the DCCC Storm basketball team who serves as a role model for other students both on and off the court. With a 3.7 grade point average for the fall 2010 semester and a cumulative basketball point total of 765 as of Feb.18h, hunt’s academic excellence and athletic abilities attract attention. Recently, he caught the attention of recruiters from the University of Northwestern Ohio who offered him a full scholarship there to play basketball. Named to the 1^st. team all freshmen in 2009-2010, Hunt served on the 2009-2010 Region X and District H Championship teams, and he played with the Storm in last year’s 2010 NJCAA National Championship tournament. “Kimani hunt has been a leader for us the last few years both on and off the court,” said DCCC Storm Head Coach Matt Ridge. “His high standard of excellence has helped us win many games, but it’s also helped him achieve a lot of success in the classroom, and we are certainly proud of him.” Ken Kirk, DCCC’s director of athletics and wellness, agrees. “Kimani is a kind and considerate student athlete. He helps tutor other players who look up to him as an academic leader, he communicates well with other students as well as the Storm fans, and he represents DCCC so well wherever he goes.” Hunt graduated from Riverside High School in Durham before enrolling at DCCC. He hopes to pursue a career in sports management.

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned on the court.

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-year-old who works in teams with her classmates in problem-based nursing exercises. “I learned that everyone has different strengths and brings something different to the table. I also learned that we have to respect each other.”

Watkins is a May 2010 candidate to receiver her Associate Degree in Nursing. She hopes to pursue her B.S.N. at Winston-Salem State University and eventually get her master’s degree in nursing.

Setting educational goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, and increases self –confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.

 My future well I don't really think of it that much because I have to live the present. But i guess i would start with being in college or out of college with my degree in medicine. I would try to live life to the fullest and party and dance and drink but also not go over board. I plan to travel all over the world and meet places I probably didn't know existed. My main goal is to one day be able and  travel to Europe that's something i would probably want to do before i die. But as any person wants they want the career, the relationship, the car , the house, the family, the money , the best things to happen in my life. When i die i want them to remember me as the person that always laughs, sometimes to much the one that has to smile at least once a day or else she is nothing. the person that when she would get mad she would sometimes go over board, but best of all the person that would always try to be there for everyone no matter what..!!!

How To Always Succeed in School

Part 8

·         Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the 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 become 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.

·         Students know they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. They always sat, ”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 to tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make a wrong decisions, 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 there’s. 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.

Do the math. Even if you’re struggling in math, stay with it. Knowing math gives you options. It opens doors to good jobs in computers, engineering and business. And it helps your mind get organized.

·       Take math problems one step at a time.

·       Do your math homework every day. Falling behind will make it that much harder.

·       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 a person who knows how to decide on time. There are many extraordinarily brilliant people who understand things very quickly, but when the times come to make a decision, when the time comes to make a decision, when an opportunity comes, they withdraw and are not able to act. They do not know how to decide.

   Global issues reflection:

•  Describe at least one of the issues discussed in as much detail as possible.

        That a lot o people are suffering or in poverty and that is a horrible issue well I think to go through. But as well that all people in poverty don't waste their time they do other things that keep them entertained.

• What could you do to help solve this issue?

Well i can't just magically snap my fingers and disappear poverty but mostly all people that are in poverty is because they had no type of job and did not go to college to better themselves. they chose the wrong and decided that they probably didn't need to work or try harder to succeed more to be better in life. Most that are in poverty are there to begin with because of drug use or alcohol use they decided to do different that ruined them

• Do you think w have issues or similar ones here in U.S?

Well this is probably all over the world that what I think

Write. Writing is way to express yourself: your ideas, opinions and knowledge. And you may do a lot of it in college and on the job.

·         Write a little every day. Try keeping a daily journal to make a habit of writing.

·         Read outside class to increase your vocabulary and understanding of grammar.

·         Break up long writing sessions into shorter periods with regular breaks.

·         Let your writing sit for a while and then come back to it.

·         Read your writing out loud or have someone read it to you.

·         Edit someone else’s writing and let that person edit yours.

·         Learn to write and write to learn

·         Write creatively. Writing on your personal web blog is a great way to put your words into writing and to journalize your writing day after day.

·         Write your life history

·         Write your life’s goals in a journal, review these goals often, revise your goals often. But write them down.

·         “Writing maketh an exact man; therefore, he that writeth little hath need of a great memory” (Anon)

·         Write to remember.
