Exploring the World of Foods with Ms. Younger

At Springville Junior High School there are a lot of new and older faces. These faces are those Brigham Young University students. These students are studying to become teachers. All of the BYU students at Springville Junior are very close to becoming teachers; student teaching is the final exam.

Now every student teacher is special, but there is one that stands out from the rest. She has been to six different countries and three different states. Her name is Ms. Katie Younger. Ms. Younger was born and raised in a little town in Texas called Midland, "Where everyone eats, sleeps, and breathes football."

Now Ms. Younger is studying to become a foods teacher. As she got older, she had the opportunity to study abroad in London and to intern in Washington D.C. She also had the privilege to visit Guatemala, Italy, France, Germany, and Austria. She said that her favorite place to visit would have to be London because it is full of culture.

Sadly, most good things come to an end. The student teaching is the final exam before the students can get their degree, and student teaching only lasts three months.
