Student Success Stories
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 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.
