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 a 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 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!!!
