Memorial Day

What is Memorial Day? Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in the military are remembered. We give honor to those who lost their lives on serving our countries.

When is it? Memorial Day is celebrated in May 30. It's the last Monday of the month of May. Also its a day after John F. Kennedy s birthday.

What are some ways to show honor and respect on Memorial Day? There is three ways you can celebrate Memorial Day. You can attend the closest parade to you and see those Veterans that serve our country. Another way you can celebrate Memorial Day is by hanging the flag of the United States whether it be outside the house or inside or even on your car. Finally you can thank a veteran for the services they give to us so we can be protected from any harm.

I think that Memorial Day is a really  important holiday because it's honoring those who risked their lives to keep our country away from any harm. If you think about it, not everyone will risk their lives for someone who they don't know at all but these brave veterans do it anyway. Some Things i'll do to celebrate Memorial day is to go visit my cousin and thank him for the services that he gave me and everyone. Memorial Day is really a day in which honorable people get their day of appreciation and i think that this holiday is something that should be celebrated because these veterans don’t get to see their families for a long time and they risk their lives on saving our country from any danger. I call veterans the true heroes of the world because they go through so much and all together they save and protect our country.

Eight good reasons why to tell the truth

Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protect innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. Telling the truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying and getting caught
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell and remember more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful a trait most people value.
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside.

These 8 reasons to tell the truth is something everyone should use in their everyday life to become a better person. With these reasons the world would be a better palace if everyone were to follow them. It really isn't that hard but people get overpowered by the bad spirits and they go out into the world to make destruction. Everyone knows what's right and what's wrong.. There's is really no excuse to be untruthful to strangers or even people close to you. If you are untruthful it can hurt someone and they will be the ones paying the consequences. It isn't god to blame someone for something that they didn't do. If you did something bad you have to go through the consequences whether it's harsh.Since you had the dishonesty of blaming someone else you really shouldn't be peaceful. After all that innocent person is paying the price for what you did and that isn't fair.

‘’If I've got correct goals, and if i keep pursuing them the best way i know how, everything else falls into line. If i do the right thing right, i'm going to succeed.’’

Dan Dierdorf

This amazing quote that Dan gives us is telling us that there's a way to live your life. If you had goals as a child and even now that you're grown if you pursue them all that will come is success. If you do your goals and your doing the right thing the everything else will fall into line just like Dan Dierdorf said. If you do whats right you will have nothing to worry about especially if it's something you accomplish. If your goal isn't something positive i'm pretty sure it will all go bad no matter the effort you put into it. The reason why we live is to make a good thing out of the world and i know everyone makes mistakes no matter who you are but it's your goal to eliminate that from yourself. If your goal is to make the world a better place you have to start doing it not just saying in. Every single human has their own goals whether it be a good or bad thing but the only ones that will succeed are the ones with the right mentality rather than the evil putrid mind of those who want to bring the world down with their negativity.

‘’The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon’’

Dr. Laura Schlesinger

This quote that was given to us today is something everyone can relate to. Everyone in their life has felt guilty for something and they know they can't take it back. That is why you should always make the right decision at the right time when the opportunity is given to you. When you're honest and truthful towards everyone then you will feel like you have no worries in the world. Your image will look good and you'll be proud of the person you are yourself. Making the right decisions will always bring something good to your life whether it be now or later on in the future. The example and the video that we watched today lets us see that if you do the right decision then you will be rewarded. Maybe not as much like the janitor but you will rewarded with greatness, dignity, and respect. There will always be hard decisions in life but you need to listen to what your heart says and make the right decision because if you choose the wrong decision, nothing will go good for you. For example, if the janitor were to take the money the police could have chased after him but he made the right decision and gave it to the authority and gave it to the respectful owner. And it was unbelievable when the owner of the money gave him a $60 reward and he didn't even spend it for himself he gave the money to a homeless and a co-worker that's going through a hard time. This man is truly someone to be admired.

Reflection: If i had the chance take this career i wouldn't take this career because it doesn't seem that interesting to me at all. I'm also not that into sports. But i'm really into music and producing my own music. So i would really think about the career i want to do for the rest of my life because it's the thing that i will do for the rest of my life.

‘’In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.’’

Theodore Roosevelt

This quote that Theodore gave us lets us know that to make a right decision you have to do the right thing. This statement is quite true. If you were to chose the wrong decision nothing will go as you want it to go but if you were to make the right decision then you'll feel good and have no worries. The base of life is about making decisions so if you were to make the wrong decisions then your life can turn out bad. You have to go with what you gut tells you to do even though is something you wouldn't want to do. Every person knows what's right and what's wrong so there's no excuse to make the wrong decision for various reasons. The more you are truthful to yourself and know that you decision is right then more success and goodness will fall into your life. A example can be if someone offers you drugs and you know that those drugs can destroy your body the right decision to make is to say no and walk away. Even if you have the temptation to do it you have to be truthful to yourself to not end up bad in the future.

‘’Nothing is ever gained in doing what's wrong.’’

Wilford Woodruff

This quote that was given to us today is something everyone should know already. It's just that there's many people that ignore the fact that if you do wrong you'll gain nothing out of it. I think the only thing you'll gain out of doing what's wrong are more worries, problems, and you lose all you freedom. Every person has a mind of their own. Everyone thinks differently and everyone chooses their own pathways in life. But the thing that all humans have in common is our knowledge to know what's right or what's wrong. If people already knew the consequences of their actions they why do they do it? Sometimes the reason why they do it is because their pressured to do it or most of the time they know what their doing and they really don't care if they lose their freedom. Sometimes they don't think thing through but one they have their freedom taken away they will soon see the big mistake they did. Most of the time they will do anything to get their freedom back and they really regret what they do but sometimes you just can't have what you want. The pathways you choose in life are very important cause it will choose you friends education and the way you live or sometimes the things you do to stay alive. It shocks me that people know what their doing but then they will have the courage to do it. You will gain lots of trust, good friends, and a higher level of education if you do whats right. But if you were to do what s wrong then you will gain nothing out of it.

Desires

There's lots of things that i want but i think the most i want to do is travel to japan. In my classes I've done lots of projects based on Japan. I think Japan is a prefect place to travel weather it be it see historical features or just to have fun. There's plenty to learn when you are in Japan. You can learn about all the cultures they have and you can try lots of different things. The food will be different and even the hotels but i think its always good to try something new. I really do love Japan and all of its tourist spots. I wish one day I'm able to go to Japan and buy lots of stuff. It would be awesome if i can play a gig there with my guitar. Id have lots of fun just performing in the streets but getting money out of it. I'm also a big fan of Anime. Anime is something i watch when I'm bored or i have lots of time in my hand but its a goal of mine to go to Japan and learn more things.
