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 $e3:messages. <br><br>And Krystal Laughlin, a junior goalie on the soccer team who enjoys the physical challenges of BFS, said those messages are important.<br><br> It makes ^SRQGEW%V=Z|['<8boo0ɖBRHL~|G5a+OCLܩʚTsb)lpt8OFe 9*=&$GXFSyϐ!>Waǵ7\ Hm>hOSާ=@g["A\p'?[ qnObca<'G6q0P(sqMYu {\ PXZJ'qLI)ӌ>S؊ЉiшLog>*T݀ߏcz%(l#`QfaR'MY 4x}sֱN}2wn DwQ:Ě*DA& W4Ҵ"E-/ AT'r {XEX~Z'.tHi@^IIW#:QnKzʼVڴ[Q4};a2[s\MVc"I u'!V:ڌ@DR(9|>;W$'n4UXW5# U:uwZTQ@ރOnfu-څx-9Rs#mG>U7q0*PF3]ַQc!z{a),_Σzx228ʆcW:܌MjѕSKf͉GfNjQǿM~D%MjOfySk7-J8VQs4I0 q3¢S9\Ws N%l OE5}57f R,ҟ$obqAE`uuAzֈ~<R=+Ky 70% _ qJ*G'L /P-JOM!^-G_l)k5e PE?˸Q{,ԡ+_SؼwF}k,2` U6Ĥ#`$b;ܣƫ*p7n4o&I={GXyvMzn0\:+47$|_@!6_&=inW)6閊B†i#W:זC; oy9 NkWsP;.9 CFG'aC8E>2?\k~dלizmEl?m
