Student Spotlight
Sequoyah Recio is in the spotlight this month!
Listen to our podcast from 4/27/22:
Sequoyah is a recipient of a scholarship through Cainegels Connection and pursuing a career in helping others. She has struggled with social anxiety through most of her childhood. Sequoyah is breaking out of this cycle by seeking help from professionals and counseling through Mountain Family Health services. She loves being a Stage Manager with high school productions, she loves climbing at CMC and the Rec Center in GWS with friends, and she loves her friends and family! Sequoyah works hard in her studies at school and also has a job. Sequoyah has some great tips on "grounding" if you are feeling anxiety, which include noticing 10 items in the room, noticing 2 items of touch or feel, noticing 2 smells or sounds. She is able to recognize when anxiety kicks in and is able to retreat, regroup, and carry on. She has such strength and is so easy to talk with. I am honored to have a "conversation" with Sequoyah on my new public affairs show "Brain Garden"
, which will air 4/27 (Wednesday) at 4pm on KDNK.ORG- you can stream live and if you miss the show, its ok, it is also a podcast and is available through KDNK and AZYEP (also known as the Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment Program).

STUDENT OF THE MONTH!
Yarrow Ator is Cainegel Connections Student of the Month!
She was awarded $2000.00 from Cainegel Connections Inc and will be given her award 4/13/22 at the Glenwood Springs High Schools awards night 4/13/2022. She will be attending DU in the fall of 2022 and she loves academics!
Yarrow is an only child and both of her parents have a mental illness and her father also has addictions. She dove into school and her studies as a means to cope with her life outside of school and it then turned into a passion, learning.
I had the pleasure to interview Yarrow through the Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment Program's public affairs show called "Brain Garden" and I happened to the be host. The show airs 3/30/2022 at 4PM MST. Here is the Link to listen to the show: https://www.kdnk.org/podcast/brain-garden-an-azyep-podcast/2022-03-30/brain-garden-with-yarrow-ator
Yarrow wanted to spotlight the Aspen Hope Center: https://www.aspenhopecenter.org/
I wanted to post Yarrow's Capstone project because she put her heart and soul into her paper and it is worthy of posting and having the community access her hard and meaningful work.
