Katie Watkins, a standout 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 a 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 –
salen 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 would not open up for people.
