Youngsville sailor builds confidence while serving aboard Navy destroyer

For Youngsville native Cynthia Laborde, joining the U.S. Navy was about more than seeing the world or serving her country. It was about setting an example, honoring her family's support and proving to herself that she could succeed in one of the nation's most demanding professions. Now serving aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Mahan out of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia , the 2023 Marksville High School graduate is quickly adapting to life at sea while representing Acadiana on a global stage. Laborde joined the Navy just 10 months ago, motivated in part by a desire to be a role model for her younger brothers. “I want to provide a positive role model for both of my brothers since they are 18 now,” Laborde said. “I think it's important to set the best example I can.” That drive to lead by example was instilled at an early age by her mother, who encouraged her to push through challenges and maintain high expectations for herself. “My mom has always held me to a high standard with everything I ever did,” Laborde said. “Because of her, I recognize that I can do hard things and succeed.” Today, Laborde serves as a professional apprentice
