           He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a                             companion of fools should be destroyed. 
 This quote means that if you do something good and have positive influences around you you'll get something good in return but if you do something bad and hang out with the wrong people it can get to you. For example, if you go to school everyday you'll be able to graduate. other people who skip school to go drug deal and stuff have a larger chance of going to prison and not achieving goals. Also, if good people are around you all the time you'll achieve anything you put your mind to. Another example is, if your friends influence you to drink at parties their not good people. That always leads to a bad consequence. If they take you to go study at the library that's the right way to be successful. 

                                        

                     Veterans Day

What is Veterans Day? Veterans Day is a public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War 1 (November 11) to honor US veterans and victims of all wars.

What is the purpose of Veterans Day? In the USA, Veterans Day annually falls on November 11. This day is the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Veterans are thanked for their services to the United States on Veterans Day. Why is it important to show honor on Veterans Day?

When is it? November 11

What are few ways to show honor and respect on Veterans Day?

·         Say “thank you.” It’s a simple gesture, but a deeply meaningful one. If you see a veteran in uniform out in public, simply step up and thank that person for his or her service. Shake that person’s hand, look them in the eye and give a sincere “thank you.”

·         Visit a retirement home. Many veterans in retirement homes would be incredibly happy if people took a moment to stop in and spend some time with them as thanks for their service. Stop in at a retirement home near you, ask if there are any veterans around and personally thank them. Take the time to ask them about their service and genuinely listen to their stories.

This idea is particularly powerful because many people in retirement homes struggle with loneliness. A 15 minute visit not only shows veterans that you appreciate their service, but also helps them enjoy a few moments of genuine human warmth and companionship.

They should always be remembered because they fought for doing what was right to be in a better place and to have peace. In return we should honor and respect them for them risking their lives for us.

"Right is right, even if everyone is against it; & wrong is wrong, even if everyone if for it." ~William Penn

      This quote means that right is right even if there are a few people doing the right. Just because there is a few people choosing the right doesn't mean its wrong. Right is right no matter what. No matter how many people are in favor or against it. Wrong is wrong even if everyone is in favor of it. Just because there are a lot of people doing the wrong doesn't mean its right. You always have to do the right no matter what the circumstances are, even if you are the only one.
