I too was touch by Mrs. Watkins at Carver High School (class 2003). So friendly.... So inspiring... definitely was business minded and encouraging of a young minded entrepreneur such as myself!!!
Always promoted that VICA- Skills USA... lol... and was so much more friendlier/welcoming then the FBLA sponsors Carver had at the time. I still have the shirt she embroider for me back then.... she was definitely a hustler!!!
Though our time together was Short... Thank You for your impact Mrs. Watkins!!!
Ms. Watkins was one of my ALL TIME favorite teachers while she taught me at Carver High School. She especially left an impression on me as the teacher mentor of the VICA club. It's part of why I've been a working hairstylist for 37 years.
