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 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 increase self-confidence. Education
opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open for people.
CHOOSE THE
RIGHT!!!
