The girls are required to memorize a different poem  one usually connected with athletics or self-improvement  every six weeks, and to write poems of their own.<br> You can not separate the mind from the body, Young, a former English teacher said. Not only can she see an improvement in her students memory due in part to their physical and mental workouts, but Young added that group tasks such as memorizing poetry contributes to a sense of teamwork among the students.<br><br>The overall results are striking, Young said,  I can see them all getting so much more self-confident, she said.  They all feel so much better about themselves, particularly the older girls, who have worked so hard for three-and-a-half years. It s sometimes just the little things that they now pay attention to, like the changes in their nutritional habits. A couple of cheerleaders stopped one day and said,  See Mrs. Young, we re drinking juice and not Dr. Pepper or Coke.  <br><br>Most of the girls list  getting in shape,  improving in their sport, and  losing weight as their primary reasons for taking BFS, but they also acknowledge the other benefits they ve received from Young s class.<br><br> We re learning about bones and muscles and stuff, said Amanda McCoy, who s been in BFS since the second semester of her freshman year. A senior who plays softball and basketball, McCoy said she believes that memorizing and writing poetry is paying off in other areas of her schoolwork and athletic career.  It helps me remember, she said,  and helps me concentrate. <br><br>Junior Amanda Waldroop, a cross country runner, sees another benefit to the poetry.<br><br> Sometimes, when I m not feeling good, I remember a sentence from a poem that makes me feel better. <br><br>Junior Penny Thompson, who plays softball, volleyball and basketball, admits she doesn t particularly like having to memorize poems, but said,  They do give us a lot of good messages. <br><br>And Krystal Laughlin, a junior goalie on the soccer team who enjoys the physical challenges of BFS, said those messages are important.<br><br> It makes me feel better about myself, she said,  and teaches me that I can accomplish things, and that makes me a stronger person. <br><br>One of the keys to the success of the program is that Young never lets it get stale.<br> The seniors have seen me change the course every year, Young said,  according to the things I ve learned over the summer. I think that helps keep them interested and gives them another reasons to take BFS. <br> <br><br>BFS<br>By Elana Breedlove<br><br>BFS has made me have<br>so much more respect.<br>It makes me remember and <br>do the things I used to wanna <br>neglect.<br><br>It makes me push myself,<br>it makes me wanna succeed,<br>Because of BFS I know what<br>I really need.<br><br>I need to work hard, push myself,<br>and try to be the best,<br>When you think of how the <br>body works,<br>why would you wanna rest?<br><br> Push yourself, come on, faster ,<br>that s all Mrs. Young used to say,<br>When running the mile <br>she was with everyone <br>every step of the way.<br><br>Everybody needs someone to <br>help you find the way.<br>I m glad I get to meet that person<br>every single day.<br><br>BFS isn t only about the <br>physicalO;֝pmK!`;t)b(i#fi1Up݆;ISߡqW2q^঴@5GRy֛l;CH=+ j:ppUZZN)j|qܔi6;1Td,#/:tģ 9VeZ t핹*ۧӚ;*;bcPV6>ֻxF튫+xd:<ͧ~/FFMG(">1 )"=JS gzu)^#gI4 taTt"ᇙ"[d_Y|u|X4L0X\S@lɗ$6<Ϛ OkJ#N,o[i^rJCӥF2ͦA<,NHl{awҨx5;hˀm.b, qʄx0 )#?6_FPE7S/L2Pu=O]5u+ 7pua!.DHH(JAP Qӧ|kl`P<ߦ<*Vt[R㉙(ql{ _s>*dЊt@&u5)4fH®l:wlF48T)"Ѿt]\u"⮇#I%E71nv(^H A2 O֘O|`{ڸM hŅNԯWБcTJ  g8;֔Ňn;xvTUGۺB?ɓeg,cyÓqY{ӎz9H4HT|H|%ONv\*ݻL#" 1J$_6So ūd^My$-Uo\ŜUTKuEpJ xwf}3Os|U½:[c#hc=ZoгO\)l]˓QH}~Ujg%1_+@|9?*Q2G']{wsg04~gtҎGzX7$8N?VQw_[a<uE4#>?~Ztr|2-˥_b7#jbGZO Uc^,iQ\/ָփq3T xw)@z(SPv=qj|$VQ1!@ڸi"|1$(\fTP(lRB7T+6j@4qĒҵ tpeOO PTn8}1U7{Pe\|3*}Ujx_olEjz}_|qTU[2|O!RӬ5[c젷6y9?.onՓN߼OCVAh%-}lY$1 /JPETxK&7kֿ^ѵ;:W׵@ H'|OJltNizd>o+LM:m7?GLU*`|@r<gƆczg_~e^b18C NsŇA~X|w(#\)Jwh|{cGlFoq'-'F"pDYgWNe9O{UaP+SC;M s^pfb{|c_)M͆OAp[
