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 mot open up
for people.
Choose the
right!!!
