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 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 2010 candidate
to receiver 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!
