Student Success Stories Part 1
Kate
Watkins, a stand out 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 some 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 not open up for people.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!
