Katie Watkins, a standout storm volleyball player for two years, now spend her free time studying to be a nurse at DCCC where she says she applies some of the concepts she learned in the court.

 

“Just like volleyball, nursing can be tough,” said Watkins, a 21 year old who works in terms with her classmates in problem- based nursing exercise. “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 associative 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 to accomplishment. It builds self-esteem, and increases self-confidence. Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up for people.
