" Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for this better to be alone than in bad company."
- George Washington 

    What this quote is telling me is that we must be friends with the people that are good, always choosing the right. We shouldn't be friends with bad people who might get us in trouble. Who will endanger are future. Who will take us off the right path. To stop this is to find the good people who are honest, that don't lie or cheat. Those people make us look good help each other stay on track. Those people make you look great and good, you ll have a reputation of being good. Who will want to see you succeed in life. He or she will motivate you to do whats right. And if you cant find good friends, its best to be alone, than to have bad company on the side of you. Its best to go solo, and succeed in life. Than to not have a future and all your dreams end up on the ground where they are just being stepped on by the bad friends you have associated with.

Presidents Day
Monday February 15


                   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.

 Ways you can honor presidents day is put an American Flag outside your house. You can wish a happy birthday to the presidents. Or have a presidents day party.
