“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”
                                                                                                                       Abraham Lincoln

Abraham was a man with a good mind with a magnificent way of thinking. He never seemed to care about winning the election. He deserved to be president for doing what’s right. When he was growing up, he knew what was right and what felt wrong. He might have seen examples of people doing right and wrong. Lincoln probably decided he will act the right way. Mr. Lincoln was around right people because they heavily impact him in choosing the wrong. He will part from someone who tries to do any wrong. As a right person, he never felt tempted into doing what is wrong. Guessing how great and honest he was, he felt right all the time. This quote shows relevance because many people or teens nowadays have certain influences in which makes them behave a particular way. Some teens might be rebellious and choose the wrong. This is the result for hanging out with wrong people. If they were to realize what they're doing is seriously, bad than they will consider choosing the right. As Lincoln always did it is imperative to stay with the right people.

People sometimes wonder what President's Day is. Presidents day is a holiday in which it originated after the works of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and other presidents. In other words, the holiday's purpose is to recognize the works of these former presidents. Presidents' day also honors the birthday of George Washington. The holiday is celebrated in the month of February. Presidents' day doesn't really have a specific date like other holidays. However, Presidents' day is always celebrated on a Monday.The holiday's origin goes back to 1879, when congress decided to implement the holiday. The first Presidents' day was actually celebrated on Washington's actual birthday. However, since 1971, the dates varied. Over the years, more rules have been implemented relating to the holiday. Annually, students don't come to school on a Presidents' day. Post offices services aren't available on that day. Certain businesses aren't at service as well. Personally it is a great day for a president like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln to get recognition. I feel like ever since presidents' day became a holiday, congress expanded Washington's and Lincoln's legacy.

''When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.''


Abram Lincoln

             To begin with this quote is meaning that if you choose the right to do something you'll feel awsome and great. However, some people do the opposite, and as a result they get these negative feelings like sad, anger, or embarrassed from their actions. In my opinion, I somewhat agree because sometimes doing the right feels bad and doing what was wrong felt good. This case only happens rarely, but most of the time doing something good, will most likely make you feel good about yourself and rise up your self-esteem. Doing the wrong will only make you stupid and will also make you feel stupid. An example of doing the right is talking to a person who just happens to have a bad day and cheer them up a bit. An example of doing the wrong, is talking back to the teacher. To do the right, is probably going to make you feel warm, happy, and glad just to make someone's day less miserable. Another example of doing good, is to help out anyone who looks like they are struggling. Nothing is much dirtier than doing the wrong. Doing the wrong all leads to regret and disapointment.
