A Paddle Board for Cynthia who is all about enjoying the ocean

Posted Jul 19, 2022
Cynthia just survived a major medical incident and now she is requesting a paddle board. Lying in the hospital bed, all she could think of was getting out in the fresh ocean air and feeling the sun on her shoulders. She wants to enjoy the freedom of being on the ocean and at the same time relieving the stress that has built up over the last few months.

Cynthia is 44 years old and lives in CA

Cynthia is in her first year of her Master of Social Work program at California State University Long Beach. She hopes to eventually work with reentry services for individuals that are system impacted. She currently participates in many on campus organizations such as Project Rebound, Guardian Scholars, and Tessie Cleveland. She has recently been accepted to a study abroad program in May to Berlin and Hamburg Germany. This will help her better understand how social services are implemented in other places and will expand her educational repertoire. She currently volunteers with Meals on Wheels feeding the elderly and works with disadvantaged youth through community service organizations. The greatest quality that will help her in this field is her kind spirit. From feeding the elderly, to helping disadvantaged youth, she can empathize and care about people and their suffering without judgement. She hopes to make an impact in the lives of others.
