During her senior year she took Advanced Placement Government, Advanced Placement Statistics, College English and Being Bilingual Pays, which is a new class offered at WRHS. Sandoval was enrolled in the dual-immersion program for 12 years. She was also very involved in Nosotros United, a club unifying different cultures at WRHS. Sandoval was secretary of the club last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Sandoval says she is thankful to be born and raised in the Wood River Valley. She especially enjoys hiking; her two favorite hikes are Carbonate Mountain and the Toe of the Hill trail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Her plan post-graduation is to attend the College of Southern Idaho to receive her associate of arts degree in education. Eventually, she plans to attend Boise State University to one day be a math teacher in no other school district than the one she grew up in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIn fifth grade, I had a math teacher who really inspired me,\u201d Sandoval said. \u201cShe made it so easy to understand by giving us the problem and showing us every single step to the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">Sandoval hopes to one day help other students in Blaine County learn math just like her fifth-grade teacher helped her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Editor\u2019s Note: Anyone who would like to recommend a Blaine County School District student for The Weekly Sun\u2019s \u201cStudent Spotlight\u201d feature should contact The Weekly Sun at<br \/>\nnews@theweeklysun.com.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by her math teacher to become a math teacher By Emilee Mae Struss Elizabeth Sandoval is a Wood River High School senior who has a few new titles to her name: WRHS graduate and Mommy; her daughter, Brianna, was born in September. \u201cIt was difficult to be out of school for a month and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9332,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","_pvb_checkbox_block_on_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38,41],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-11494","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sponsored","8":"category-student-spotlight"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11494","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11494"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11494\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11494"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11494"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodriverweekly.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11494"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
