Amber Marsh
Bonjour, hello. My name is Amber Marsh. I am from Chestermere,
Alberta, a small town just outside of Calgary. I am seventeen
years old and a grade twelve student at Chestermere High School. I
was actively involved in my student council and peer support
program last year. I have lots of interests which include singing
and acting. I am in Drama where I do lots of acting around Calgary
and get to be my unique self and take on different personalities
and characters.
I really enjoy being involved with youth and sharing my opinions
on issues that effect so many of our youth today. Who better to do
it then a true member of the youth community.
Last year I attended the Students Commission's Fifth Annual Youth
Conference in Ottawa, where I helped write a youth report on
issues that affect youth today. I was planning to attend again
this year, but plans changed and I was given the opportunity to
attend the World Conservation Congress in Montréal. So,
here I am ready to share my opinions on the environment from a
youth perspective.
At this Conservation Congress my job is to be a multi-media
journalist. I will talking to delegates from around the world on
how their youth feel and how they get involved with the
environment. This will give us some ideas on how to make getting
involved with the environment fun, interesting and educational for
youth.
I would like to thank all the people and businesses that sponsored
me to be able to take part in this truly remarkable experience. I
will be more than happy to share my ideas and experiences with
anyone interested upon my return.
