April Fool's Day

April fool’s Day

April fool’s day is on the 1^st day of April every year.

April fool’s day is a day when people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other. One of the most common theories is that it originated in 1582, when April fools were those who still celebrated the holiday in the spring, and were the subject of pranks and ridicule by those who observed the New Year months ago. Some pros to celebrating April fool’s day is that people have fun and its one of the only days you have an excuse to play tricks on people. Some Cons to the celebration of April fool’s day is some people take the tricks to far or to seriously.

“Character is higher than intellect.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I disagree with this because I believe that they both depend on each other or maybe intellect is higher than character. For example if you are going to a work interview they might want to decided if you get the job depending if you work well with others but they are most likely to hire you depending on how much of an intellectual person you are.

“I trust that my hard work will pay off.”

Tyler Haws

I believe that this quote means that he trusted his hard work would pay off. An example of this is when you are working on a projecting and your work hard on it, you have to trust that working hard on that project will pay off.”

“True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what’s right.”

Brigham Young

I believe that this quote means that real independence and freedom only exist when you’re doing what’s right. For example if your parents trust when you say you are staying after school for studying and instead you leave and go hang out with your friends, if your parents find out the independence and freedom you had gets taken away.

Olivet Middle School Eagles

In Olivet, Michigan the Olivet Middle School Eagles helped make a boy with disabilities named Keith Popular. The football team came up with two plays that let Keith score a touchdown in the game although they went behind the coaches backs and made the crowds upset they did it just to make someone’s day. This taught me that no matter the consequences you should strive to make someone else’s day, for the happiness of others.

“They’re only truly great who are truly good.”

George Chapman

I believe that this quote means that a person who is really good is really great. For example a man would only be truly great because they don’t fake being good they truly are good without intention of being recognized for it but because they do it from the bottom of their hearts without thinking it.

“Many think that the short term gain will be worth the long term pain, but it isn’t. In addition, using steroids is cheating, and there is nothing worse than a cheater. Don’t do it.”

George Mitchell

I believe that this quote is trying to say that a long period of pain isn’t worth the short period of gain. For example if you lie to your parents and say saying you’re going to stay after school for tutoring and in reality you’re going to the mall with your friends you were able to have a couple fun hours with your friends but is it worth you always regretting that you lied to your parents and misused their trust possibly for the rest of your life for a couple of fun hours with your friends no it wouldn’t so we shouldn’t do it.

“I won’t cheat”

Dale Murphy

I believe this quote is right because people shouldn’t cheat not only is it not right to cheat but you in reality you get nothing out of cheating for example if you cheat and copy your friends math homework you could get a 100% on the test and an A in the class but if In finals you have to take a test and you can’t copy because the test has different questions then you didn’t learn anything so you fail the test and you get a bad grade in the class.
