We train people how to succeed,” she says. “I’ve seen so many students become aware of their own self-strength. It takes 80 percent hard work and 20 percent guts to succeed in life, no matter what job you do.” O’Brien, a respected actress, director, playwright and producer who has performed in various national Broadway touring productions, says the CSI program emerged in the 1990s after more and more liberal arts programs were cut from the public school system.
