Children
decided to go back to school
to gain her Master's in art
with an emphasis on
humanity. She feels very
blessed to have Fresno
Pacific University as the place
to earn her degree. Cynthia
attended Fresno City and
Fresno State, and obtained
her B.A. in business
management from FPU in
2002. She hopes to graduate
in December of 2010.
She is writing a book about
her life and the arts. Cynthia
believes we all have the
ability to make a difference
in this world and should
strive to do what we can
with the gifts and talents
God gave us. Cynthia says, "I
always look forward to what
He has in store for me."
She enjoys amazing
experiences through the arts
and is grateful for wonderful
mentors in our community.
Cynthia shared, "Though I
had a rough beginning in life
(dropped out of high school,
lived on Motel Drive for
many years, struggled
through the trials of young
motherhood and poverty)
finding my place has been a
true blessing. My desire is to
be an art therapist some day,
offering hope and building
self worth through the arts
with the homeless, addicted,
mentally ill, cancer patients,
survivors of domestic
violence, and
children."
