My name is Jasmaine Leonard. I am a PK (pastor kid).I was born in North Carolina. I currently live in Rocky Mount,Nc.
The reason I decided to become a nurse is because it has always been a passion of mines and I come from household with medical experience back ground. But my greats motivation of many has been my mother who has struggled with health issues and father who passed away from lung cancer. They both made me realize that I wanted to do something more than sit on the side line. That I actually want to help and make a difference in one’s Heath situation.

My name is Kennia Wilkins. I am 43 years old. I am married with 4 children, 2 girls(one that's in between me and my husband who is the oldest and the other one that is to the right of her with a greenish looking shirt who is second to the oldest) and I also have two boys(the one that is standing beside me is 21 and the one holding my grandbaby is 20). The other young man is my oldest daughter boyfriend and the other young lady is my son's girlfriend. I love to spend time with my family! My favorite outing is going out to eat at Texas Roadhouse. My mother lives in Accokeek, Maryland and my father lives in Rich Square, NC. I am from a blended family because my parents divorced when I was six years old and they are both remarried. I have one brother who lives in Texas along with several stepbrothers and stepsisters. I was born in Woodland, NC at a doctor's office. I guess when I was born they would take the people to the closest doctor's office for delivery. I was raised in a small country town of Rich Square and I now reside in Aulander, NC which is just a few minutes from Ahoskie. After graduating from high school I went to NC State to pursue a degree in English but after pursuing it the interest I thought I had I no longer had. So a few years after that I pursued a career in the medical field. I started out as a Certified Nursing Assistant in which I still have my certification and then I went and received my Medical Assistant Certificate which I am currently working as a Medical Assistant at Vidant Orthopedics in Tarboro, NC. After starting in the medical field, I enjoyed helping all people but my favorite is geriatrics. I want to become a nurse because I enjoy helping people, talking to people, and would love to make a difference in their lives. I have learned that you must enjoy what you do. I have always told myself that once I get all my kids through college and/or they have started their career, in which my last one is at ECU completing his senior year, that I would fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse and now is my opportunity to pursue my dream.
