Once a panther, always a panther...the motto I've heard and seen practically my whole life. Having been a panther since preschool, and now almost halfway through junior year has been a wild, and at times, a not-so-easy ride. I've had the best and worst times of my life in high school, and have learned from every experience and mistake. From super inspiring, crazy, quirky, and flat out mean teachers who I now know had their best intention in mind, to all of the hardships experienced with athletics, friendships, and outrageous schedules that come with high school, I have learned so many life lessons, tips, and some tricks in surviving the wild roller coaster ride they call "high school." I would never trade being a panther for anything. Seeing, hearing, and saying the motto "once a panther, always a panther" will always have great meaning and fantastic, unforgettable memories that go along with it. Elementary school and junior high are behind us. Graduation awaits us. And so my friends, the adventure begins...
