"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"

Reflection:  This means we should not sin so that we can always find happiness and not feel guilty about anything.

Student Success Story

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 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 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 towards school, learning, an 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. 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 Success Story.

A. How much money would you like to earn per year?
I would like to earn $75,000 per year.
B. Why would I like to earn this amount?
I would like to earn this amount because I think this is enough money to buy things that i need to pay for, such as food, the water, gas, electricity. I would help out my family. Pay for the house or car.
Reflection: "True wealth is of the heart, not of the purse." (Pathros)
They say this meaning Money can corrupt someone or take over the mind. So if your wealthy you can listen to your brain and spend it all or listen to your heart and be wise and spend it wisely.I would not spend it on dumb things like chips candy, or junk food. I would spend it on my family needs or food, I would pay the bills, like electricity, water, gas, and other things.

Student Sucees Story (part 5)

Andrea Packer- Without the prestigious DCCC Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Parker, 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 to 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.
