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

"What's right isn't always popular. What's popular isn't always right." - Albert Einstein I agree with this quote. I agree with this quote because it is true. It is true because many times people get the wrong impression about certain things just because many people are doing it. Making good decisions is very important and i understand that at times it is harder to make good decisions because maybe a group of your friends isn't making bad choices. This quote is telling me that good choices aren't always made by people but it is important for your sake that you choose the right regardless of if anyone is making the same choice.
