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 accomplishments. It builds self-esteem, and increases
self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally
would not open up for people.
