She could also remember the clashing weather, their family's room french doors, first dogs, parrots, the music her dad played, and the dances they enjoyed.

When she was 12, Cydney's family moved to New York, and she had to adapt to the new life. She attended The Lawrenceville School, then went to Bard College before attending Princeton University.
