Cindi

When I met her, Cindi was working for this small but kinda-sorta successful design agency, call it Acme Design ( not its real name).

我认识她的时候，Cindi正在一家有点小但是挺成功的设计公司工作，公司叫Acme Design（化名）。

A few months ago, the phone rings. It's Cindi.

几个月后，Cindi打电话给我：

Some of Cindi's twentysomething peers raised their eyebrows a little bit, though.

可是一些和Cindi一样二十来岁的年轻人不认可我的想法。

Cindi is a very bright young friend of mine with a great career in front of her.

Cindi是我的一个朋友，年轻聪明，有份很棒的工作。

While she was getting her degree, Cindi had to pay her way through college.

上大学以后，Cindi得挣钱给自己付学费。

Cindi Bernhardt was 18 and starting college, when she had a life-changing accident.

馨迪·本哈特18岁时正开始大学生涯，但是一场事故改变了她的一生。

Cindi grew up in a single-parent household, so there was never a lot of money around. That's OK; her mom was one smart, fun, tough cookie, and Cindi and her siblings always got good grades at school, so it all worked out rather well.

Cindi在单亲家庭长大，小时候家里的钱从没有过富余，不过没关系，她的妈妈聪明风趣又坚强，Cindi他们这帮小孩子们成绩一直都很好，所以一切都挺好的。

Cindi Bernhardt joined the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, MFPA as a student, learning to paint water colors.
