Student Success Statement

Student success statement

“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

        Sin is but a part of “every ones” life, it is impossible to go through life without committing these so called sins! For your very existence itself is a “sin.” Being told that what you do is wrong, is just a way that people let you know that they are afraid! Afraid of what they were forced to stay away from because of an oppressive church that wishes to control the lives of its subjects. Sin is happiness! Without out it would the whole lot of us be here today?

Andrea packer anticipates graduating with a B.A in education from Catawba in December 2011 and then enrolling in master of arts in teaching program from salem college, also offered on the Davidson campus. Packer spends her day on the 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 I can be, but it 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, demonstrate a bright, positive attitude toward school, learning, and other people, then they can be highly successful as high school students and qualify for academic scholarships also. All they need to do is put in the time, study time. All the hard work and effort will certainly 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 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.

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 pursuing 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.
