Her parents Brad and Crystal Bloomfield are so proud of her and the young woman that she is. She works hard and deserves the world. Everything has not been easy for her, her biological mother has lived a rough life, of drug abuse, incarceration and all around difficult trials. Even with all of this on her shoulders, Keirston is still able to have a love for her mother and carry herself forward with grit and grace and be loving and forgiving.
The Silver High School Principal Shane Coker wrote a letter of recommendation for Keirston. It says in part: "When the school year began, Keirston was listed as a junior. Her perseverance and determination to graduate a year early has paid off. ... I believe this is a first for Silver High School to have a junior graduate early from high school with a college degree." He also commended her as "an extremely hard worker, relentless at completing tasks and has the uncanny ability to remain focused on her personal goals. She is a self-starter who has great self-motivation to any challenge set before her."
