April 6, 2023 A-DAY
PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
You’ve heard of the “5 W’s” right? If not, here they are; Who, What, Where, When, and Why. Usually the 5 W’s can be used to write a thorough story, or find answers to an incident. But you can also use them as a guide for yourself. Here are the 5 W’s of life.
WHO: who you are is what makes you special. Do not change for anyone.
WHAT: what lies ahead will always be a mystery. Do not be afraid to explore.
WHEN: when life pushes you over, you push back harder.
WHERE: where there are choices to make, make the one you won’t regret.
WHY: why things happen will never be certain. Take it in stride and keep moving forward.
Have a great week Panthers!
