                                                               the real world if they have no hope?





                                                               Taleen Nevokshonoff answers,  "I






                                                               have received skills and training that






                                                               will help me to share my. testimony





                       in little ways that will offer them a hope."






                                   What is the number one reason for becom­





                       ing a teacher?  A concern for children.  They






                       hold the bright promise of the future—a prom­






                       ise which can be enhanced or clouded depend­





                       ing upon the teaching the children receive.






                       From reading a child's picture book to teach­

                        to train future teachers how to use that influ­

                                    Constantly being prepared to teach their






                        students, education majors began by learning





                        the small things, from the history of education






                        to the observation of actual classes.  "Kids can





                        be easily influenced, so we have to be good ex­






                         amples," sophomore Farrah Russell stated.

                         which makes teaching a ministry in itself."
