7. My opinions on Memorial day is that Memorial Day traditionally marks the beginning of summer: families and friends congregate for a picnic or a barbecue, enjoying the weekend. Memorial Day originated from the Decoration Day when people honored soldiers who died in the Civil War. Later the designation of the day expanded to all the men and women who have died in military service. By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.Today many cities celebrate Memorial Day with memorial services, parades, public speeches and demonstrations. However, it is important to remember the true meaning of Memorial Day and reflect on how blessed we are to be able to get together with our loved ones on this beautiful spring day. The best way you can honor someone is by saying thank you. Each year on Memorial Day a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Student Success statement

"I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating."

Sophocles 

        This statement means people would rather fail with honor than win by cheating. Falling honorably is better than winner by cheating. You will not be considered a winner by cheating you way to the endzone. For example the horse race the person riding the horse  cheated his way into the endzone and got caught by a picture someone took of him. Now he considered a cheater instead of a winner. Another example is the wrestling match for the finals when the kid lost honorably he shook the player hand and hugged him then went to the kid father and gave him a huge. Now everyone is a jerk when they lose. Some lose fair and square. Just because you lose doesn't mean the world is ending the competition probably wasn't the one for you. The way to live life is by choosing the right.

Student Success Statement 

"Act well your part; there all honor lies."

Alexander Pope 

This statement means that when you act like you are supposed to then people are going to acknowledge you for being honorable towards others. Once people see that you are considerate of others around you then you will be treated with respect. Action speak louder than words. If you don't act respectfully around others then people are not going to take you seriously. They will see you as a joke. For example the Jackie Robinson West little league baseball team.They were the best team on the field every time they played. They even won the world series but they wrongfully cheated and got stripped of their title. They used to be known as the Players that won the world series but now are known as the people that cheated their way into the world series. It isn't the best way to be known as.
