Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season. Overall, it is important to celebrate this day because it is in honor of those who fought, and are still fighting for your rights and freedom.

“Dare to do right.”

Rex D. Pinegar

Many people tend to take bad dares because they are trying to fit in. They might might also take them, in an attempt to impress someone. But little do they know, these dares may result in major consequences. If they are willing to take on these bad dares, they will get hurt, one way or another. Instead of taking on these bad dares, you should be taking the dare, which is doing what is right. Doing so may be a challenge, but you’ll eventually get used to it. The rewards are far greater than any possible rewards you can obtain from taking on a bad dare.You also learn a lot more from them. You shouldn’t hang out with people that pressure you into taking these bad dares, because they are giving you them, for their own entertainment. If you get hurt, they would not take responsibility. A real friend would challenge you to do what is right.

CTR Stand Tall

Brooke a caucasian female that lives and goes to school in Mexico. She is physically different in her appearance, such as her height. She stands by her standards, and doesn't change herself in order to fit in. She has many friends who accept her as who she really is and wants to be. She doesn't get peer pressured, and she doesn't let any negative criticism that is not needed, get to her, in order to alter her hapiness.

“Dare to stand alone.” To me, this quote means that you have to isolate yourself from the people who might set a bad example , or who may peer pressure you. You have to have the courage to be alone and move on from the people you thought were your friends. Doing this will allow you to keep your freedom, and you will maintain the respect that the good people have for you. Most people do drugs because they are trying to fit in. Those type of people should know that a real friend would never criminalize, victimize, or criticize you for not accepting drugs from someone. Those who do, aren’t actually your friends, and only care about drugs and fitting in. Just because you stand alone, it does not mean that you’re in the wrong. It just means that that you’re the only one that is correct(depending on the situation). Doing something bad, in order to fit in with a crowd of people can get you into big trouble. Especially if it’s something dangerous or illegal.

Chiropractor

Chiropractor

Use a variety of physical techniques and therapies to treat and rehabilitate patients who are suffering from disorders and/or injuries of the back or musculoskeletal system. The annual income for a chiropractor is $60,440 per year, $30.98 per hour. The education required for a chiropractor is, Doctoral or professional degree, and 4-5 academic years of professional study. The demand for a chiropractor is 17%(2015). I would like to be a chiropractor because the job seems simple to me. You have to be well experienced but once you get the hang of it, it can be easy and mellow. They also get a good annual payment. Sometimes an appointment can be as easy as cracking someone’s back , but there can be occasion where the patient has some serious injuries and you have to be careful. Also, it has always been my dream to be a chiropractor because it is what I find simple, and i also really enjoy learning the anatomy of the body. People think that a chiropractor only focuses on the spine, but they also learn how to deal lots of the things that occur in places other than the spine. A trained chiropractor is able to give you a full body adjustment (bones). Many of them are also knowledgeable on many other things, such as nerves, tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, etc.

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing right, I’m going to succeed.” The meaning of this quote is, if you do what is right, then the key and pathway to everything and anything, will be clear and simple. Choosing not to do the right thing, will result in a vague and unclear path towards the goal you were looking to achieve. An example can be someone trying to become a surgeon. Choosing to do the right thing, and studying everything you’re required to learn, will make everything in the future so easy and familiar. If you choose not to study, you’re going to be confused and not know anything about what you need to do, and why you need to do it. If you decided not to follow this, then you may never achieve your goal of becoming a surgeon. If you always choose to do the right thing, you will find it easy figuring out what you’re required to do in the future.
