Career Education: Meet Cynthia • Arrived in the U.S. – 3 years old from Mexico • Father took her into the fields to inspire her to work hard and do better for herself • Worried about her father’s chronic back pain • Enrolled first at Imperial Valley College, where she maxed out her EOPS support and found it difficult to get into courses (although her basic skills writing class was very helpful) • Found San Diego Mesa’s PTA program on her own and moved 2 hours from her family to attend
Cynthia’s experience at Mesa • Valued her teachers – Knew how to listen and offer suggestions that expanded her options rather than blaming her for prior mistakes • Struggled the most with getting enough sleep and meals while trying to work full time and go to school • Relied heavily on support from a local family who took her in • Deep community fostered within her program • Mixture of classroom and hands-on learning • Offered a job after a mandated information interview
Cynthia’s Success • Very self-motivated • Highly structured program • Faculty support • Peer support • Work-based learning – Observation – Volunteer opportunities – Directed clinical practice • Employability skills
“Push yourself to be better than you were yesterday.” Cynthia Huerta
