Student Success Stories
Part 1
Katie Watkins,
a standout storm volleyball player for two 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 get her master’s degree
in nursing.
Setting educational
goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of
accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education
opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
