Student Success Stories
Part 1
Katie Watkins, a
student 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!!!
