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!!
