Part 1
Katie Watkins, a stand out storm volleyball player
for two years, now spending their 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 I 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 won’t open up for other people.
