5. Something interesting about Memorial Day is that this day marks the beginning of summer traditionally. 

6. I dont know what ill do.

7. When I think of Memorial Day, some may think of the fallen soldiers that have fought for the country. I always think about the families they left behind. It saddens me to know that some people have had their family torn apart due to their person being away at a war that should not even be there. Memorial Day is really a day of grieving and remember the people that have died. I am not exactly sure why there are parades and stuff but I really think they are seeing the good out of the bad. Memorial Day is an important day to many of us and our families due to past relatives or even parents and siblings.

Student Success Statement

Student Success Statement "Enthusiasm makes the difference." - Dr. Norman Vincent Peale I agree and partially disagree with this. I agree because it is true. Being enthusiastic makes a big difference in the way you see things. Being enthusiastic makes you excited for things and that can help your mental health cope and become happier. I partially disagree though, because sometimes people can not be enthusiastic because they may be depressed or have another mental illness that makes them not feel enthusiastic. I feel like being enthusiastic makes me feel good. This year, i decided to become more enthusiastic. Ever since then i have looked at the positive things in life. I have been doing this for several months now and i feel happy and i think that has really improved my grades. I enjoy coming to school because i am very enthusiastic about it and want to succeed.
