How We Met
Cynthia and Jamon, (unofficially) met while attending SUNY Cortland’s annual CSA (Caribbean Student Association) Halloween Party in 2016. This was B.C (before Christ) ya’ll. He saw a girl dressed as a chola and quickly asked Lima, the campus’s mother who she was. Lima said, “Oh, that's Cynthia from LFL (La Familia Latina)”. And so it began. He was working security rounds for the party and decided to take one round early. But, checking for drunk, passed out students didn’t seem as fun as getting to know this beautiful woman. So, he walked up to her and asked Cynthia out to dance without saying a word. I guess actions do, in fact, speak louder than words. And Cynthia was left thinking, “What was that all about?”
They officially met days later in the library while Cynthia was studying with Esosa (a classmate). Knowing Esosa, he decided to use her to break the ice and formally introduced himself to Cynthia. That day marked the beginning of those library dates and after a few of them, they’d start a beautiful, life long journey together. Today, if you were to run into them, they’d still be studying but, now about The Word of GOD. They’d also be watching their favorite shows (The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Boruto, Attack on Titan, & This Is Us) as well as having meaningful/impactful conversations just as they did in the beginning.
