Student 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 masters degree in nursing.

Setting educational goals and working hard to achieve them brings a great feeling of accomplishments. It builds self-esteem, and increases self confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
