JOURNEY

Cynthia said: “What meant the most to me from this workshop was the idea that my destiny is not an inheritance and I get there by changing my mindset. It is a matter of changing my mind from small thoughts to thinking and dreaming big which results in bigger achievements.”
September 8, 2022 – Cynthia discussed the biggest change in her life since the end of the COVID restrictions: “Since the end of the COVID restrictions, my life changed in that I challenged myself to get involved in, and attend, some trainings related to my career.”
September 13, 2021 – Cynthia shared her favorite song and what it means to her: “My song is “Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me” by City Alight: https://youtu.be/hwc2d1Xt8gM. This song reminds me of the greatest work Jesus has done on the cross for me, and it keeps pushing me to thank Him everyday. With every breath, I long to follow Jesus, till He brings me home. And when the race is complete, my lips shall repeat “Yet not I, but through Christ in me.”

BIO

Cynthia was born in a family of four children, she is the third. She grew up seeing her mother play both roles of a father and a mother because her dad had died. It’s been 16 years since he died. This was complicated as her mum had no job. Consequently, Cynthia learned to live a serious and determined life.

Cynthia studied in primary and secondary school with a determination of scoring highly on her exams, as she knew that education is the key to a brighter future. So she had to use every chance she got. She also wanted to make her mum proud since she does her best for their family’s survival.

Cynthia has been dreaming of becoming a doctor since she was a child. Her inspiration to contribute to the health sector by joining other doctors in fighting all diseases, especially non communicable diseases, as the rates show that these are the diseases killing a lot of people in her country. Cynthia is tired of seeing patients being neglected to the point of reaching their death. So, she is craving to change this, and it will start with her!

Besides her studies, Cynthia enjoys reading books and serving others. She also enjoys sharing about the gospel of Jesus Christ, as it is a mission that Jesus left us with.
