Cynder Abbott

By Ysabel Garza

Cynder Abbott is a kind, shy student at Morro Bay High School.  Originally from Florence Alabama, Cynder moved to California when she was very young, currently living with her Uncle, Mom, Dad, 2 younger siblings and her dog, cat and bunny.

  When asked about what she was like when she was younger, she described herself as family and friend oriented, energetic, and confident, saying, “Nothing you could say could phase me.. I used to talk to anyone about anything.” and when asked what her younger self would say if she could see her now, she responded, “confused, but excited that I still have some of the same qualities I used to, like my love for animals and the people around me.”  She still expresses the same love for her relationships, explaining that they’re what’s most important to her, and describing meeting her boyfriend 3 years ago as monumental, “He’s made me such a better person, he has taught me to be open minded and find the good in little things and life.”

Everybody has a role model, someone to look up to, and Cynder hopes that in the future she can be the kind of person people can look up to as a good example or mentor. She lives by the phrase, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” The phrase is important to her because you never know what’s going on behind closed doors.
