Student success statement part 1

Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at DC CC 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 strength 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.
