I loved Foothill I played 4 sports and was the team captain of the track and Football team my senior year: really loved the atmosphere of the football games and sporting events. I would love to see more school spirit and change in the attitude of the students to be more involved in the school events. The most rewarding part of high school was when I received the athlete of the year award at foothill and Prom my senior year when I was awarded prom king
