PRESIDENTS DAY

Presidents day is an American holiday that is celebrated on the third Monday of February. It has long been celebrated since 1885. It was originally a day made for President George Washington as celebration. It was originally called ''Washington's Birthday''. The meaning wasn't moved until 1971. In today's times, it is celebrated as a day of honoring all the past American presidents. You can show your honor and respect on this day by doing many activities. Some may include attending or visiting any president related activity such as reenactments, parades, museums, galleries, etc. Or simply by recognizing the past leaders of America in your own private way. I can show my honor and respect on Presidents day  by acknowledging them and learning more about them at home. I can engage on their history by reading books i have about them. Presidents Day/ Washington's birthday is a federal holiday. Even if it federal, each state is free to call and celebrate it as they wish.

''Goodness is the only investment that never fails.'' - Henry David Thoreau This statement is true. You can never go wrong by doing something right. By helping someone you encourage hope. For example, there is no harm in lending a hand every now and then. You cannot go wrong by being selfless. It is better than anything to think of others before you think of yourself. Always help out anyone whenever you can. You may inspire a chain of acts of kindness. By investing good in humanity, you gain the whole world. Goodness will never do you wrong.

Student Success Statement

''If I've got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them in the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I'm going to suceed.'' - Dan Dierdorf I agree with this quote. If you choose to do something right and put your effort into it, them you are bound to suceed. Putting in maximum effort into something can impact ones chances in suceeding. Everything does actually come together. When effort and a proper choice go hand in hand, there is no other way. Certified success can only come from a good choice. If the opposite were to be said, results would not be as promising. When your heart is in the right place and your choices reflect on it, then the option was a clear one made. If you choose right, you gain right. Pursue greatness by being great and truth will go your way.

STUDENT SUCCESS STATEMENT

'' Only those who live who do good.'' - Count Leo Tolstoy This quote is agreeable. If you live your life off of bad acts, then you have not lived. A life well spent is a life full of good. Without any good in ones life, they would be miserable. You must realize the importance of making the right choices in your life. Every time you choose wrong, your life looses its meaning and purpose. Do not let your life waste away. For example, if someone has been a bad person and done terrible things all their life, then they really did not live. Living is about what you make out of it when good is involved. If someone has chosen the right path and has made the right decisions, then they lived a life of prosperity and welcoming. Live a life of good. A life without good is a life well wasted. Always do good at every chance you get. Train yourself to be better.
