Whom should you associate yourself with? 

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company"

George Washington

 That is so true you should hang out with people that are good influences and people who make you look good because you do not want people thinking about you in a bad way and your reputation and name is all one can have. Another reason why to have good company is because it takes you place. What do I mean? I mean if you hang out with people that allows you to have access because they are good people so they do not have enemies. I also mean that if they're good influences you would probably perform better in school and other activities because they have you motivated. so to wrap this up choose the right and hang out with right people. 

presidents day

Presidents Day 

What is presidents day? Presidents’ Day is an American holiday celebrated on the third Monday in February. Originally established in 1885 in recognition of President George Washington, it is still officially called “Washington’s Birthday” by the federal government. Traditionally celebrated on February 22—Washington’s actual day of birth, the holiday became popularly known as Presidents’ Day after it was moved as part of 1971’s Uniform Monday Holiday Act, an attempt to create more three-day weekends for the nation’s workers. While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly viewed as a day to celebrate all U.S. presidents past and present.

What is the purpose of it? It is a celebration for all u.s presidents but originally established for George Washington. 

When is it? Every third Monday of February 

What are a few ways to show honor and respect on presidents day? Go to a museum, go fishing, visit the grand canon, visit some national monuments, visit Mt. Rushmore go to the park and play some football, have a family dinner.

Christians right decision

Christian’s right choice

I liked how Christian chose the right and apologized to the victim for his dad’s stupidity. Even if it wasn't his responsibility.  I think if I had a dad like Christians I would have done the same. This poor lady lost 700 dollars and she accepted his apology out of the kindness in her heart, Now that’s something you don’t see every day. I bet Christian felt very good about himself after all that.
