Why did you choose this particular person? How do you think counseling or rehabilitative measures would have helped this person overcome their struggles?

Each week, we have been introduced to a different Youth. In week 1 , we learned about an elementary school girl by the name of Gabby. We watched her journey start with academic struggles and then home life struggles and end with her ultimately dropping out of school and being detained for selling drugs.

In 2,we learned about Unique who, impacted by different environmental factors, chose a different path because of the positive social capital provided by a teacher and a school resource officer . In week 3,we met Pham who struggles to acclimate to American customs and was eventually detained for selling drugs. You can review each person’s story through the following resources.
