Student Success Story
Part 6
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 Collage, 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 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, compete all assignments
on time, and demonstrate a bright, positive attitude toward school, learning ,
and other people, then they can be highly successful as high school student and
qualify for academic scholarships also. Al 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.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
