Student success stories
Part 1
Katie Watkins, a Stanford
volleyball player for two years, now spends her free time studying to be a nurse at dccc where she says 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 masters 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 for people.
