Student Success Stories

Part 1

Kate Watkins, a student 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 had 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 then 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 be open for people.
