Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountain areas. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with relatives and others. There often is a religious service and a picnic-like "dinner on the grounds," the traditional term for a potluck meal at a church. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.

7. Memorial Day is much more than the pool opening, the beginning of summer, or getting an extra day off. It is a day set aside to honor men and women who have lost their lives serving the United States of America. Originally called Decoration Day, it began May 30 of 1868 as a day for decorating the graves of soldiers who died in the Civil War. Joining the military can be very costly, with the highest possible price being life. Since 1775, more than 1.8 million have paid this ultimate price.

The 12 principles of highly successful leaders 

1.Be true to character 

This means you should always be truth to yourself and always keep on going never give up and always say the truthBe true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day.

2. use your imagination 

Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will. 

3. Apply the power of knowledge 

The truth is, knowledge really does have a lot to do with the amount of success we achieve. It really does contain a lot of power. But the thing is, the knowledge part really isn’t where the power lies. 

4. Never give up 

this to me is just really great because this tells you so many things how you are and how you gonna achieve your goals i really do believe that you shouldn't never give up 

5.Find peace and balance 

I think there should be a good balance between being a good student and being able to enjoy your 

high school life

6. Live the golden rule 

I cannot remember a time when the Golden Rule was not my motto and precept, the torch that guided my footsteps.



7. Build and maintain trust

"Relationships are important, but stay focused on all the things that are important. Figure out what you want. For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself". by Jeffery bell


8.Quick to listen slow to wrath
When you’re trying to reconcile with someone, don’t listen for the problem or the issue. Listen for the hurt beneath their complaint, their issue, or their anger.

9.Lead with Vision
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.



10. Manage with plan
Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life have learned that nothing is certain except for the need to have strong risk management, a lot of cash, the willingness to invest even when the future is unclear, and great people.


11. Do what matters the most
We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square. What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.



12. Be accountable
Realizing that we've surrendered our self-esteem to others and choosing to be accountable for our own self-worth would mean absorbing the terrifying fact that we're always vulnerable to pain and loss. I recognize I have faults. I'm accountable for them, and I try to do what I can to correct them. I will say that it's unfortunate that everything I do is scrutinized to the point that it is. Frankly, I don't watch the news, I stay away from political conversations. 

Reflection: To me  i really did like Be accountable because you are choosing to be accountable for our own self- worth and means absorbing the terrifying facts what were always vulnerable. Also Do What Matters The Most because success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square. What matters is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past. These two really did get to me and i knew so much cause of the 12  principles of highly successful leaders.

 Ten Tips for being more Truthful 

Barbara A. Lewis 

The Ten Tips 

1. Make a commitment to tell the truth 

2. Tell someone about your commitment 

When you make a commitment to someone or to something you are always gonna keep your word because ones you do that youll get the respect you need and you wouldnt want anyone to push you so i beleive if your commited to do something i say go get it and make dreams come true. 

3.Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation,sarcasm,or reason. 

you have to always be the person to make changes because theres always people out there that are gonna try to let you down but you shouldnt pay attention to them, 

4.Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration,sarcasm,or irony. 

Sarcasm is a large component of social interaction and conversation.  To demonstrate a sense of humor, people frequently use sarcasm as a means of “breaking the ice” during initial encounters with others.  People also use sarcasm as a means of being comedic with groups of friends.  They say something contrary to what they feel and/or believe for the purpose of being funny.  Sarcasm, in these instances, seems harmless and playful

5.Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it. 

This is really important to know because you should always know what your talking about and when you talk about things that really get to you . You become a way better person so i just do believe that you should never give up and keep on trying till the win. 

6. Dont indulege in little white lies. 

I really believe that people shouldnt indulege because they can turn into white lies and it can be bad to others and even yourself so thats why you shouldnt due to the lies people could say that even cause things to happen. 

7. Watch out for silent lies. 

Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world…would do this, it would change the earth.

–William Faulkner

Tell your stories, if people wanted you to write warm about them, they should have behaved better.

–Anne Lamott

8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse. 

"People forget they have options. And they forget that those things don't really matter. They should concentrate on what they have and not what they don't have. And by the way, wishing and dreaming doesn't mean concentrating on what you don't have, it's positive thinking that encourages hoping and believing, not whinging and moaning.” 

9.talk to yourself

Start talking to yourself to increase the performance and function of your brain. It is crazy not to talk to yourself because you would miss out on the benefits that come with self-talk. The key is to practice doing it until it becomes natural.

10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth 

Most people probably think I’m an honest person, and in general, I suppose that’s true. I am honest with many people. However, I’m rarely honest with the person who matters most—myself.

As someone whose drug of choice is food, I’m familiar with all matters of sneaky and lying behavior. The best I can pin-point, this probably started for me around the age of six. In other words, I’ve had a long time to practice.

Reflection: I can benefit with these 10 because you should always do the right thing to do because when you do something good things would get you back and buy you things that are better so i really did learn alot with these 10 tips. I choosed Tell someone about your commitment because to me thats just great and i can really relate to it. What i can do to make these 10 tips is reading my life planning goals and just keep on going. 

Overall, 71 percent of students reported that they liked using Khan Academy and 32 percent said they “liked math better” after using the tools. Eight in 10 teachers reported they thought students were at least moderately engaged when using Khan Academy, although usage varied widely depending on the school or classroom. Some students said Khan Academy encouraged them to learn independently, with 45 percent reporting they were able to learn math on their own without it. We contend that the videos at Khan Academy are alarmingly devoid of PCK. We claim further that (1) the examples Khan chooses appear selected at random and thus are, perhaps unsurprisingly, often quite poor. They are prone either to create further confusion, or to fail to address fundamental questions students are likely to have; and (2) Khan’s explanations are frequently off target in addressing likely student questions that experienced teachers would anticipate and elicit.
