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
• n 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.”
