You know the phrase "these things don't happen every day?" Well reader, that's because they don't. Not for kids (well technically I am an adult) at Paly, or any high schooler for that matter. Last Friday Night, I didn’t dance on table tops with Katy Perry. Instead, on The Viking's first ever New Yo...

Athlete or not, life goals are a part of, well...life. But the countless hours of work, determination, and reaching the point of nearly quitting are all worth it once you make it through to the other side. Reader, I accomplished a life goal today.
