Both of them should of avoided the situation and not even think about getting into a fight. Its crazy how getting to a fight can lead to someones death. The other little girl is now considered a murderer because Joanna Ramos of 10 years old past away. The doctors had done brain surgery on Joanna but her heart failed and wasnt strong enough which caused for her death. It must be rough for the family of Joanna but hopefully she is in a better place now. It must also be hard knowing that you were the cause of someones death.

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.
