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 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 2011 with my associates 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 and other people then they could 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. The y 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 short and long term.

Andrea Packer- without the prestigious DCCC Presidential Scholarship she won in 2008, Andrea Packer, a 2012 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 2012, Packer, 20, has been working toward her bachelor’s degree in early childhood education form 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.
