Through the experiences of my internship, I have seen the extreme impact of these ordeals and the benefits of advocacy. Furthermore, I aim to work with youth, inspiring their personal growth so they can reach their goals, develop confidence in their abilities, and become successful, ambitious individuals who contribute to society. I aspire to create an environment where youth have a purpose and feel they are not alone; a place where they are valued and respected. Finally, I hope to combat the school-to-prison pipeline by advocating for discipline policies that understand the deeper needs of students and that focus on rehabilitation rather than <span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif\">criminalization.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\">Click here to see my resume:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;font-size: 12pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swpro.org\/ambowes\/files\/2024\/05\/Amber-Bowes-Resume-2024.pdf\">Resume Link<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome!
