I begin by acknowledging the role Mr. Bowen has played in the Colorado educational system. Being a former student of Mr. Bowen, I observed his professionalism, work ethic, and most importantly his compassion for his students. The time I spent with Mr. Bowen in the classrooms and on campus has opened my mind to the limitless opportunities a student can achieve. Outside of campus I have seen Mr. Bowen's efforts to motivate and aid numerous students and communities. From Africa to the States, Mr. Bowen has left a lasting impression on me personally. I now aspire to play a role in the educational field due to the remarkable job I seen Mr. Bowen do at the Community College of Denver campus.
