Presidents Day

Presidents Day is a holiday celebrated every third Monday of February. It was originally established in 1885 in recognition to George Washington, our first president. It was traditionally celebrated on the 22 of February, but it was moved to the third Monday of February to recognition the other presidents we have also had so far. A few ways to show honor on presidents day are by forming groups and reenacting the events occurred on Presidents Day, and teachers can also honor the holiday by teaching their students about this event in history.

“In life as in football, you won’t go far, unless you know where your goalposts are.”

_Arnold H. Glasgow

What Arnold Glasgow is trying to tell us is that, if you don’t have goals, you won’t get anywhere in life. Your goals are the key to get us motivated to do the things you want in life and if you don’t have goals, you will just be another person who doesn't think they’re good enough to accomplish their dreams.

Evolution of Basketball

In December 1891 basketball was invented. It was invented by Canadian James W. Naismith, an instructor at a YMCA in Massachusetts. He made this game so that he could keep his students fit and warm during the winters in New England. Back then there were 13 rules and those rules still remain the same today. In the beginning only men played but in 1892, the first woman’s game of basketball was played. Today, basketball is different because more people watch it than they did before and many new rules were added. Basketball is a very popular game nowadays and it is played all around the world. 

“Only those live who do good.”

-      Count Leo Tolstoy

                                                

When Count Leo Tolstoy says this, I think that he means that, the people that are good and choose the right in everything they do will live a good life even if it’s short. But people that lie a bad life, they might live a long one, but they won’t really live happy like the ones who good.

“What’s right isn't always popular. What’s popular isn't always right.”- Howard Cosell

I think that this statement means that, even if many people are doing something that is popular, you shouldn't do it just because it’s popular; you should think twice to yourself and establish if it’s right or not. If something is right but it’s not popular you should do it anyway because you will feel good and even though you’re not doing what the “popular crowd” is doing, you will know its right and you won’t regret doing it.
