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-yaer-oldwho 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 other
people.
CHOOSE the RIGHT!!!
