Memorial Day

Memorial Day

1)What is Memorial day?

Memorial Day is Holiday to honor those who died serving in the U.S Military. It is also known as Decoration Day.

2) When is it?

Memorial Day is on the last Monday of the month of May.  Monday May 30.

3) What are some ways to show honor and respect on Memorial Day?

Some ways to show honor and respect to those who are in the military are attending to a ceremony that honors to those who fought or visiting a grave and thanking them.

Memorial Day was first celebrated on May 30, 1868.Commander in chief John A. Logan Army of republic designated as May 30 as a Memorial Day.  

How I feel about Memorial day is that it's a remorse day because you are celebrating or honoring those who are already dead. It could be really emotional to those who lost a loved one while honoring our country. Those who died or came back from war deserve full respect from everyone for serving their country. It takes bravery and strong guts to serve for our country. It’s important to respect them because You don’t know what a simple thank you or a salute does to a service man. Just the acknowledgement that they volunteered to lay down our lives to keep this country free. Put a single rose on their headstone and say thank you. Without the sacrifices those brave individuals made in the name of freedom, we would not have the ability to sell Ford vehicles, enjoy time with our friends and families, or many of the other things that we take for granted each day.

Eight Great Reasons To Tell The Truth

-Barbara A. Lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened. There's a less chance of misunderstanding, confusion, or conflict.

2. Telling the truth protects 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 than 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 feel secure and peaceful inside.

It is always right to tell the truth no matter what situation you’re in. Why lie to someone if you know that you wouldn’t like to get lied to. If you lie, there are many consequences that can lead to lying. You will either get caught, lose trust from a person, lose respect, and maybe will be disliked. You shouldn’t lie because it can make you a better person and your image will represented better. These are right examples on why you should tell the truth and it’s correct because it tells examples on how errors can be fixed and making up lies can be worst. If you want to gain trust by someone you should always be honest with them.  Another reason why you shouldn’t lie is because the person you lied to will probably get hurt. It’s hard to forgive someone whom they trusted. And gaining trust and respect back isn’t easy. I agree with Barbara A. Lewis because her tips can be very beneficial in life. I can tell that Barbara A. Lewis is a CTR.

“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, I’m going to succeed.”

“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, I’m going to succeed.”

-Dan Dierdorf

This means that if you have good or correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else will fall into place. If you pursue good goals then good things will come to you. If you have goals that you need to accomplish you should always achieve them the correct  way just like the rest of your goals as well. When you do good things, life sometimes rewards you with good things as well. If you manage to do the correct thing, you will probably always succeed. Anybody is capable of being great, anybody can be successful if you choose the right pathway. Set a goal for yourself and make sure you accomplish it. Whether they are short term or long term goals. Be positive for everything you do.The human body is capable of doing almost anything, it’s your mentality that needs to change.

No I wouldn’t like to be one because i am more interested in working into the medical field. This job doesn’t look like it will suit for me. It kind of looks boring and they don’t even get paid well.

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

-Dennis Prager

What Dennis Prager is saying is that the most thing you will ever have is good things. That’s what should be important to you is to have good values. For example you should do things so your image can be shown as someone who has great values. If you don’t have good values then your image as a person will be different. It should be important to have great values. We should also always be thankful to have good values because some people don’t like using these values like great, helpful, and many more. I like to use values because you are making yourself have a good reputation for/to others. It’s also important to have good values because good values are what motivate people and it makes them who they are today to do good values and that’s what leads them to success.

"The reward for doing right is mostly an internal phenomenon: self-respect, dignity (self-worth), integrity, and self-esteem.”

-Dr. Laura Schlessinger

What this quote means is that when you do good, good will come back to you. Sometimes you will receive an award but all that matters is that you are doing the right thing. When you do the right thing you will feel good about yourself.  For example, the guy that Mr. Haymore showed us on the clip was a CTR man. He found an iPad packed with $13,000 in it and returned it back to the authorities. He was rewarded by the owner with $60. He wasn’t greedy with the money and gave some to a homeless lady whom he cared about. That displays that he is a man who has a good heart. If you choose the wrong then you will lose your self respect from others. Your self-worth will drop and your self-esteem will drop also. You should always be kind to others and they will be kind to you. This kind of refers to the Golden Rule because the rule is to treat others the way you want to be treated. If you treat someone with respect then they will respect you back.

Phillip Riggs' Four Success Tips

1. Work hard

2. Follow your passions. Do things you are interested in doing.

3.Don't chase after money.

4. Serve others. Do good things for others, and good things will come to you. 

I agree with Phillip Riggs because not everything is about money even though we love it. If you work hard for what you love then it's a good thing because at the end you are going to end up being happy for what you do. You should do something that interests you because you will still have the money but if you don't enjoy doing that certain job then you will probably get annoyed or bored. You should find a job that you are passionate about. In my opinion I rather find a job that I love than a job that I don't like. If you're passionate and good at something, why not pursue that path and see where it takes you. You should always try and doing nice things for others and helping them out in some type of way because good things can come to you someday when you least expect it. With these 4 tips you will definitely for sure succeed in life. They can help you lead yourself to the correct path. 

World Records

WORLD RECORDS

Largest Natural Breast

1. The World Record Holder is Annie Hawkins (Norma Stitz)

2. World Record was set on January 1st, 1999

3. Her wears a US size 521 bra, the largest made but by American bra estimation, these measurements would put her in a 48V bra, which is not manufactured.

Most Snails on Face

1. In 2007 Fin Kehler had 43 snails put on his face  for a total of 10 seconds to break the previous record of 36.

Farthest Eyeball Pop

Measured on the set of "Guinness World Record: Primetime" in Los Angeles Kim Goodman popped her eyeballs .43 inches out of beyond the confines of her eye sockets.

Lowest Limbo Maker 

Girl breaks the record of smashing the lowest limbo skate . It was low as 17 cm. The record was set on October, 2015. 

My favorite world record was the "Most Snails on Face" record. I think that it is pretty disgusting to have a snail on your face. It must take so much bravery to do that and guts. I can barely even let an ant crawl on me lol. But I thought that was pretty impressive for the kid to have 34 snails on his face for 10 seconds. I wouldn't like to break a world record because I am never really up for challenges and I get lazy. I don't have a talent either.

"You knew what I was when you picked me up."

"You knew what I was when you picked me up."

There is a boy who was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake asked the boy if he can take him down the mountains since it was too cold for him to survive and there was no food to eat. The little boy was unsure if he should because he was a rattlesnake and was sure that he would bite him. The rattlesnake promised not to and he look pretty persuasive to the boy. So the boy picks him up and takes him the mountain. As soon as they arrive at the bottom of the mountain, the boy puts him down and the rattlesnake bites his leg. The boy cries and asks "Mr. Snake why did you bite me." and the snake replied " You knew what I was when you picked me up." This Indian Youth Legend teaches us a lesson to not choose the wrong because if we do then we will suffer and by choosing the wrong it will lead you to repercussions.  The boy chose the wrong by helping the rattlesnake because he knew that it would bite him but he still helped him out. This quote can apply to taking drugs. If you smoke and you know it's bad for you, you're the one who is going to make yourself suffer. Smoking can cause Lung Cancer and you still do it. Nothing good comes out of a bad action. It will lead you to negative consequences. 

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

I agree with this quote because when you don’t know how to make a right decision or struggling to make one, the best option you can make is to do the right thing. Is what Theodore says. So when you are debating on what to do at a hard moment just remember that you should pick or go with the correct thing. Especially if it is majorly big decision you should always go with the right thing. You should always choose the right even if there will be a negative consequence to it, it is still the right thing to do. You will feel good about yourself when you decide to do the right thing. One example of doing the wrong this is cheating. If you decide to cheat on a test instead of doing it the right way and study instead. In the future when your teacher wants to do a review about the same thing, you won’t know what it’s about and you’ll end up failing that review. The best and most productive thing you can do is study for the test.

No I wouldn't like to become one because singing or dancing really isn't my talent. I was just curious about what kind of duties they have to do and how much they get paid. It looks interesting because they get to travel a lot to perform for people. 

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

“Nothing is ever gained in doing what’s wrong.”

-Wilford Woodruff

I strongly do agree with Wilford because he is absolutely correct. When you do something wrong it won't make you feel better or make you a better person according to Wilford. You won't gain anything. Nothing is obtained when you decide to do what's wrong. Doing something correct might gain you something. Doing the wrong thing never takes you anywhere. If you’re not doing something right then you’re not gaining anything. Just like when your doing push-ups, if you barely go down when you do push-ups then you’ll see very little results happening. If you do go all the way down then you’ll start seeing improvement dramatically. Just like when you cheat on a test you never get any smart because you never studied you just decided to cheat. Every time you decide to do something the wrong way you never gain anything. You actually start to hate the fact that you cheat and don’t do it the right way. The best way to do anything is the right way, the way it’s suppose to be done. Without shortcuts or any kind of cheating involved.

Summer Plans

I can't wait for summer vacation. My family and I are going to go to Las Vegas on June for 4 days. I love going to Vegas. We are starting to go once or twice every year for now on. Las Vegas is fun. I really do enjoy staying at the Circus Circus Hotel and going to the arcade and Adventure Dome with my cousins. I also like to go to the pool and stay there for a while. Lastly, I love walking the strips. We may also go to Laughlin again. We just went 2 weeks ago. It was alright. We went to the Colorado River to go for a swim and cooked burgers. After we went to go check in at the Aquarius Hotel and went to the pool. The next day we went bowling and lazer tagging. I enjoyed Laughlin but I think Las Vegas is better.. And well I'm hoping I get to go to an amusement park again like Disneyland or Six Flags with my bf. We went to Disneyland together twice just a couple months ago. And I really want to go to Hurricane Harbor since it's going to be summer! For the summer I am really looking forward to start looking for stuff for my sweet 16. I really want to find my dress already! I can't wait to have a 16 because I know it will be a day for me to remember. I hope I get to travel more during my summer vacation. I love to travel and discover new things. When I grow up I want to travel. One thing I forgot about doing during my summer vacation is to work out!! I need to work out like ASAP. Well that's pretty much it that I'm planning for my summer.
