A on a test, a minor achievement, but to Foothill students it represented more. We saw academics as our chance to the future. A challenge set before us in our everyday lives. Our goal was to take this challenge as far as we could. To make a better life for ourselves. But in order to fulfill our goals required a lot of hard work. Many late nights were spent typing the English paper in order to make the grade. Friday and Saturday nights, when we would have normally been out having fun, were sacrificed in order to study for the big Anatomy test on Monday. Sacrifices were con- stantly being made. Going without lunch was often done in order to look up an article for a research paper. Time, and money, were all given in order to reach our goal. Academics even became more than just grades, but the OCAD represented Foothill in competitions. Our National Merit Scholars made others from other schools look up to Foothill and its academic ways. We saw all of this as getting us into the best of colleges, thus letting us become knowledgeable along with successful. As we see it, academics was our key to the future. f I Academics Theme Page
