"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.

"Enthusiasm makes the difference."

Dr.Norman Vincent Peale

Enthusiasm:is strong excitement about something : a strong feeling of active interest in something that you like or enjoy.

 I agree with Dr. Norman because if you do the things with enthusiasm you do it better. An example is like when you are working and if you don't like what you are doing you don't do it well but if you do it with enthusiasm you do a very good job. Don't worry about what can go wrong, and be enthusiastic about what can go right!!!!!!

" I wasn't trying to leave a legacy. I was trying to do what was right"

Dean Smith

Reflection: This quote means no matter if you don't want to leave a legacy if people see that you are going to do the right thing they are going to be like you. Dean Smith was just trying to teach the players how to have fun when they play not just thinking in winning. Dean Smith is a person who wasn't trying that people do something for him, but people make it because he was a great person and a great couch.

"It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the RIGHT WAY, the karma (destiny, fortune, good luck) will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you."

Also this quote means that if you do good things the karma is going to give you good things. An example of this if you study hard so you can go to a good college and then you graduate for college you are going to have a good life.

"Take responsibilities for YOUR OWN body,mind, and spirit, for your own physical, mental,and spirit well-being."

Mr. Haymore

REFLECTION: This is a good quote. I like this quote because it's true that you need to take responsibilities for you. Nobody is going to take responsibilities for your actions so you need to do it.
