The turbulent teens are the most impression- able years of one’s life. During this time, ob- jectives which help shape the future are easily molded into the student’s mind. In these years, the sound thinking of well-informed teachers is necessary to stress the importance of education. Despite the growing number of pupils, teachers strive to instill in each individual the invaluable knowledge needed to keep pace with today’s hec- tic society. They help prepare youth for a pros- perous future, enabling them to enjoy life to the fullest extent. By helping students meet the chal- lenges that they mast face from day today, educa- tors insure success in the coming years. Duties such as registration, grading, and meetings keep them constantly busy. However, teachers find the time to sponsor many extra-curricular activities. 28
