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 team 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 May2012 candidate to
receive her Associate Degree in Nursing. She hopes to purse 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.
