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 Thompso, 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 messags 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>physical.{vXV]oVɵKb F S^[S(ÿh+cWwljhH N1pd@y`VDsDD`O]b`uMx"\rclwv ]p->rۅ[\֏׷~oim ֶhYvf%t5mܧŠ-Xnt Z٫sbvY(l Um1_) *.Y)>(Z~^>@g'"1ʚzh ]:\ 9zvPӀ D'h/exb*cS9Ԃ>BчeL,N T^/p_!av̥}HӺ{-n]KiƯn +m?峱{[znn/K3 rhkkKu{?۽շn쮻-]IܱtMmm|tVD+Jlc IrPO{R{7K77wdo-YVS iԴ #Vt F<]`fy&qǤXKEnG=<(1p٬ZItc]#5 fs,¢I w#{hShv4QzhmK)*ҮepNlomwߏ/ޣZ kmqB>*GwIz=q]8\,3yz~O䷡ךmnwZ{VνP FC7ܭE<.'B*3ܿgK˷ VwfKOi j0`2$}1EXLBZʠ'\;";k&v}ss1)ϲ^t&{>ثqxzisyXj rf{k ǿ ?u՗SEeiuk(XrrƎ?ӖX>1]oMVV0(XH Ҋ)I8(c1"w߽7"f͊^YX$h:c@3~Qݷ #nL~Sy5Sv߹'1G(d_ oFv<lE `OE}.Ȩ7W7Aũ t`ˇ[h:oUGR|^61ƫv+H܁>8.bdm࿎+y7y6"CXaDHՖ^geݕg:AmȊDy+# s~e]k:wR%ľС=JD·Z@ TR:(W$G{m1g w5Oe틆ŇJOA._ޚڅ-SƒIPMʧSВ i3Gɔ7xpQ b@'|:dodІ[}-P?0ŒrO68OxppY tL)B;J1?^ai@OQpzm4iZS/oWU`+!AN.jӯn<ҖvR{q,$`*Vg-b8]]ݾnM+ wWF܍bN8^؏P>&59xx%F eFJ(`EJNs/,\?m&K[\3F4RHW8J5]JY嶐Db4X^{N0xB(8kz~H(HX$_<` 6)iDޜ-:uPFF*9'5 i2G@= wbʴs|'_M54^)m: GBpda3bG0(ѯ% 0@#Dʚڮ[E'y!,JP:uH?h7lsiO*QY )c˗;Il{|kq@%g>" U>A5W*͘Z͍EԔZZ`?/<3O&6S0t,YI0C}͑,_]k?ї&2]/ɒ_'{wllrx~+r}\?_Gߪ/*yz4SVq3Tdz.9e@z. cq.?ǭu[eSԅ".B_ݡ_Y̷715VTBۉ>l[ݭQ6Ž_)Mo6=հR/e/8JY*?jGx9h8˗[^G}t]
