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 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 confidence.
Education opens up many doors of opportunity that normally would not open up
for people.
