Katie
Watkins, a
standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time
studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she say she applies some of the concepts
she learned on the court.
“Just
like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21-years-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
accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education
opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
