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 a
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.
