Giving Thanks: Who Are You Most Grateful for This Winter Season?

This is the time of the year where people from all walks of life give thanks to those around them. So as a news staff, we asked fellow panthers the following question: Who are you most thankful for this season and why?

Elizabeth Ly | Senior: 

“I’m grateful for my cousins because they help me with everything; they give me life advice because they’re in their twenties.” 

Anthony Nguyen | Senior: 

“I’m thankful for my parents because they bought me my car.”

Jackie Chen | Senior: 

“I’m thankful for all my friends, family, and [especially] McDonalds because it’s cheap and feeds me well.” 

Julianna Barajas | Senior: 

“This season I’m most thankful for my sister Natalie because she helped me with my college applications - PERIOD!”

Arianna Frausto | Senior: 

“I’m most thankful for my mom because she’s really helped me with my college applications, FAFSA, and she’s really been there when I’m really stressed and need to talk to someone.” 

Vanna Thon Jr. | Senior: 

“The person I’m most thankful for is my mom. She supports me in everything I do, shows so much love and affection, and carries a heavy burden in the family; she does so many other things that can not be listed. She also helped me become a more emotionally intelligent and understanding person and whenever I feel like s***, she somehow brings me out of a hole every single time.”
