My name is Lakendra Jackson. I go by Kendra. I am 32 years of age and have 3 children, ages 13,8, and 3. I currently attend an online program with The College of Healthcare Profession(CHCP) to receive my associate's degree in Medical Business and Administrations. I plan to further my career and with great hopes, be my own boss one day. I am due to graduate in December of 2018. The medical field is where my heart belongs. I have a genuine love for helping others live a healthy life. My heart beats stronger for the elderly. My passion is to make living in the "old days" as comfortable as possible. I love conversations with people of age, for they have they best stories to tell! My favorite part of being a caregiver is GIVING BACK! And assuring them that it is now time to still be independent in all ways possible, but also knowing that when they can't do for themselves, I CAN!!!!

I have been a caregiver for the last six years due to an accident my daughters were in. My oldest was left a T10 spinal cord injury and I have spent this time making her independent. This accident has totally changed my life. It humbled me as a person and showed me not only the part of the medical field I thrive in but also showed me what I am good at. I find great reward in watching the things my daughter is now doing compared to what she was doing at the time of her accident...I know this is because of the hard work and determination I had as soon as they told me her injuries. I love going home at night knowing I made a difference in a life. The achievements I am proud of are graduating from the Scrub Technician certification program at Paris Junior College. Even though I do not work in that field I do work in a place that I get to make a difference. I am a hard worker and very reliable. I take my work serious and will always strive to be the best.
