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 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
