    The First to Succeed Not many people enter college knowing exactly what they want to do for a career or exactly what they want to major in, and if they do, they generally end up changing it. However, because of Blackfoot High School I consider myself one of the few. I know exactly what I want to major in and it is because of the classes and activities that I have been a part of that I am so prepared. BHS is responsible for who I am, who I’m going to become, and most importantly, BHS yearbook is responsible for the career that I have chosen to pursue.…

    Although we grow apart and go our separate ways, we will never forget the moments of celebration and traditions, the reflection of who we once were, and who we are inspired to become. The celebration of graduating is such a great accomplishment, we have completed thirteen years of nightly homework, reading, practices, and jobs. Although it was all worth it and what we carry with us when we are out of East High is a treasure that no one could ever forget. The celebration of studying every night trying to earn that college credit, but wondering if it is genuinely even worth it, knowing exactly what I want to do in my future, and leaving with never failing a class has been all such a valuable accomplishment.…

    Throughout my entire academic journey, I have been through an abundance of ups and downs. Most of my academic success and triumphs began in high school. During elementary and middle school, my academic journey was very mediocre. During high school, I achieved many things such as placing first in the districts history fair, graduating with my A.A. degree in sociology, and being captain of my high school soccer team. I also faced some very devastating challenges involving myself and my family.…
