by Amanda Bass - Special to Orlando Sentinel
When the students that Kingsley Bennett tutors found out he was going to intern at their school, Eagle's Nest Elementary in southwest Orlando, they were so excited that there were high-fives all around.

Bennett is a senior elementary-education major in UCF's College of Education.

"In elementary school, where children learn the basics, there are few men," he said. "In many families there isn't a male role model."
