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 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.

Part 8

·       · Many people avoid making decisions their whole lives, so their decisive faculty of mind, the faculty of discrimination, becomes rusty and dies. Such people become totally dependent on others. When we study the four functions on the mind –buddhi, the faculty of decisiveness; ego, the principle of identity; chitta, the storehouse of impression, and mana, the importer and exporter of sensations and experience-then we become aware of power of will. Will power is that something within us that comes forward and says,” training the internal functions helps us to understand the decisive faculty of the mind, without which we cannot be successful.

·         · Watch what you do on a daily basis. We become what we do and think about. If you think about nothing-you will become nothing. If you think about being a great student- you will become a great student. If you think about being honest-you will be honest. The activities and thoughts that fill your day are keys to living successfully in school and throughout your adult life.

How to always Succeed in School

Part 7

·       Student knows they should learn to decide on time, but they don’t do it. They always say, “Well, I knew it . I understood the key, but I did not act in time.” Though they may think correctly, and accurately understand the situation properly, they suddenly lose confidence. This is a world of competition; someone else is always trying to attain the same thing we are. So if we do not decide on time, someone else will attain what we should not postpone for tomorrow, but we should also not make decisions in haste. We may have a setback if we make a wrong decision, but our mistakes will teach us.

·       We must learn from the successes and mistakes of others. When we see another student succeeding greatly and honorable, learn how they do it and pattern your studies after theirs. Also, on the other hand , when you see other students failing miserably, learn how they do it and AVOID doing what they do or else you will join them in the failure’s club.

·       Make the most of your time and opportunities while at school opportunities at school.
