Lamson College Student's

Cynthia Ayala started school in November, 2009 as a Medical Assistant student. She is a young, single mother of a little girl and wanted to make a better life for the both of them. Throughout her program she had the usual problems of life popping up, but always remained amazingly positive. At one point she almost had to drop because her part-time survival job schedule got in the way of her ability to attend classes. She needed to change her class times around, and the modules she needed weren't offered at that time. She made it through that struggle, made sacrifices and smiled and laughed through it making a difference not only in her own experience but the experiences of other students. Cynthia was placed at Medi-Fast Weight loss Clinic for her externship. She went with her usual upbeat and positive attitude to learn as much as she could so that she would be ready to be hired when she was done. The office manager that met with her on the first day informed her that she would not be hired because it wasn't in their budget and there was no room for her. On the third day, the same office manager pulled her aside and said that she was so impressed with her attitude and skill level that she would find a job for her at the end of her externship. At the end of her externship, Cynthia was not only offered a position there but at two other medical facilities. She is currently employed where she successfully completed her externship. Ayala comes in every now and then and continues to have a positive impact on the staff and students at Lamson College.
