Student Success Stories (Part 1)


  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 problems-based nursing exercise. “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 increase self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
