“A promise must never be broken.”   -Alexander Hamilton

In this quote Alexander says a promise should never be broken. I believe in that. People shouldn’t break promises because when they break a promise they are not only breaking that promise they are losing someone's trust and respect. In life the things that matter most are trust and respect and if you have none for yourself then no one will have that for you. The reason trust and respect is so important is because people need to have faith in another person for everything. For example, if you go in for a job interview and you and this loyal honest person are competing most likely you won't get the job, Especially if you're not a honest and respectable person. Being honest and respectable can help a person in many ways not just in jobs but in relationships to. If your promise your partner anything you must keep that promise because if you don't you show that you're a liar. No one wants to be in a relationship with someone who is rude, unfaithful, unhonest and someone who won’t respect them.

Presidents Day

                                                                                                     

Presidents  Day

     Presidents day takes place every year in the United States and is always the 3rd Monday in the February calendar. Presidents day was originally just for George Washington, our first president. It is still officially called "Washington's Birthday" by the Federal Government. Presidents day was also another attempt to give the nation's workers more 3 day weekends. After George Washington's reign was over other presidents  such as Abraham Lincoln started becoming popular as well. So then they decided to not only celebrate Washington but also the rest of the presidents as well. 

      Some ways we celebrate Presidents day now is by staging reenactments, celebrating, and teaching others of the historical events. Most people celebrate Washington and Lincoln because they are the ones who shaped this nation to what is is today. Of course the others did take part in the shaping of the U.S. but not as much as them.Washington was our first president and Lincoln was the man who freed all slaves.
