We Are...Still the Same!

       Penn State has gone through a lot this year. It is suffering from horrific scandal, lost its former president and its most prominent football coaches ever, Joe Pa. All this because of the accusations toward Sandusky. The year of 2011-2012 is probably going to go down in history because of this as well. I am just a freshman here and this still had a slight impact on me. I have been a Penn State football fan as well as a lover of this school since my sophomore year. I cannot think about football here without thinking about Joe Pa's face. Now, he's gone? It's still pretty hard to believe. Loving this school so much and watching everyone in it go crazy over all that has happened was hard to take in. I am one of those students that think that the riots were a little overboard. While, I still think that Joe Pa getting fired was way too far, the students rioting made everything worse. They made everyone look down on us as both a university and as a community. Despite everything that has happened this year thus far, we do not and should not let that get in the way of staying on track. We should keep doing what we are doing. Everything that we have planned, let's stick to it. Let's stay strong while we deal. People have sat down and talked about what is going on and people have raised their voices in protest. There have been emails and letters to express disappointment and there also has been knocking over of light posts and media trucks to express the same feeling. I can honestly say that people are entitled to their opinion but sometimes people should remember self-control. "We Are...Penn State!" We have been and always will be Penn State. There will be obstacles in the way from time0to-time, including this major one, but "We Are....Still the Same!"
