Cynthia Garcia

Cynthia was born in Mexico and she has been living in the US for 10 years. Her full name is Cynthia Garcia. She likes to sing and dance. She was a student at BHS, and she speaks English and Spanish. She was a tutor at BHS for three years, and now she is our Parent Liaison. Some of her responsibilities are to provide resources for students. For example, she helps students to get free lunch. She connects teachers with the students' parents. She helps students to fill out applications for summer classes, jobs and scholarships. She also takes students on field trips. She loves her job because she makes students feel comfortable. She also gets to see the progress of the students. Her favorite thing about MLP is that it is like a family where your teacher is your mom and your classmates are your brothers and sisters. Cynthia's favourite memory is that she met a kid who did not know a single word of English and she helped him to get to know BHS. After that, one day she saw the student doing a presentation in English, and that made her really proud of herself to see that she helped someone to learn a new language. She would like all the students to know she is here to help them and make them feel safe at BHS. If they have any problems, talk to her and she will try her best to solve the problem.
