A Word From Our Scholar: Cynthia Kaui
In 2013, I was honored to receive a $500 scholarship from the Chula Vista Woman’s Club as I graduated from Chula Vista High School. At the time, I was excited to begin the next chapter of my life, but I could not have imagined all that the years ahead would hold.
That scholarship was a meaningful investment in my future and helped support me as I pursued my education and began building my career. Today, 13 years later, I’m proud to be serving my community professionally as a Public Information Officer for the County of Orange, while also continuing my involvement in civic and community work. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to grow, serve, and make a difference in the community around me.
I’m especially thankful to the Chula Vista Woman’s Club for believing in me when I was just beginning my journey. Their generosity was a reminder that investing in young people can have a lasting impact, and I’m honored to share where that investment has led me today.
