Student Success Statement 


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



George Washington 



Reflection: His statement is basically saying that your own company is better than bad people's company. Don't get involved with people that don't want you to succeed in life, because they'll drag you down. The bad traits of the people you're with might rub off on you and damage your reputation as the person you are. 
It's better to be alone than to be with people that don't have your back 
President's Day 

  1. President's Day is an American holiday, originally established in 1885 in recognition to president George Washington, Washington's  actual date of birth 
  2.  Presidents's day is now viewed as a day to celebrate all presedents, past and present.. 
  3. President's day is in the third Monday of February. The 16. 
  4. A few ways to show honor and respect on Presendent's Day is attend ceromonies, show respect and gratitude, Most stores , offices, and schools are closed to show honor. 

    6. I thought it was interesting that as I was searching up the meaning of Presidents day. There were a lot of controversy about this day. 
Many articles stated that it was originally only supposed to be focused on George Washington's contributions to our nation, but after time they decided to make the day about ALL the presidents so it lost it's meaning.
