Your Memory

Student Success Statement

“The most valuable asset you will ever have is your mind and what you put into it.”

Anon

I believe this statement means that all the knowledge which you have acquired “your mind” is the most important thing that you will ever have. “What you put into it” means all of your memories of the good; the bad, working, or studying is what will help you succeed in life. But make sure to learn from your mistakes.

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 GPA for the fall of 2010 semester and cumulative basketball point total of 765 as Feb. 18^th, 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 2009-10, Hunt served on the 2009-10 Region X and District H Championship teams, and he played with the Storms 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.

Fights can be prevented

School Fights could’ve been prevented

Last Friday a girl passed away at 9 pm in Southern California. She died due to a blood clot in her brain. This happened because of a fight in school over a boy. The court then ruled a homicide.

This school fight between school girls was just so idiotic especially over a boy. All of this could’ve been prevented by telling the boy they liked him and he could’ve chosen who he liked. Also where were the other girls who could’ve stopped the fight like her friends or older people? I just hope that this school girl is able to learn from her mistake and that all the other children and teens can see this as an example of Choosing the Wrong.

Katie Watkins, a standout Storm volleyball player for 2 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 2012 candidate to receive her Associate Degree in Nursing. She hopes to pursue her B.S.N. at Winston-Salem State University and eventually getting her Master Degree in Nursing.

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