SUMMARY
We saw to different video showing an example of both a ctr person and a cheater. Roman Capa was the cheater in the first video. The reason for this is because he was cheating to win the race. He was using electrical charges to make the horse run faster than the rest and win the race. He thought he wouldn't get caught but he eventually did get caught and now is banned from every racing again. In the other hand, Malik stewart was a highschool student in the wrestling team . He was in the championship and was put against his opponent. However what was so incredible was that after losing he went over to his opponent shook his had and embraced him. Then walked over to his opponents dad which was going through cancer at the time and told him to stay strong. That day was one of malik stewart's most important day and he didn't get mad for loosing because he knew he lost with honor.

“I would prefer to fail with honor than win by cheating.”
Sophocles
What this quote means is that you should always prefer to lose with honor than win by cheating. When you win by cheating it doesn’t actually count as winning it count more as a tie because if you wouldn't have won. You should always just try your best to win at something. This is because we all know that winning feels awesome and losing doesn’t. However if you win by cheating you will always know that you cheated to win that game and it doesn't feel the same to win a game by playing fair than by cheating. People who lose honorably win more than those who win by cheating. People who cheat to win never want to be played against them. Yes it is because they know they will lose. They had experience with that team and eventually no one will want to play against them anymore. The opposite if you win fair and square.

memorial day
Memorial day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died serving in the country's armed forces. It is celebrated on the last Monday of may. It was originally known as decoration day. There are many ways to honor the fallen men that fought for this country. One of which is to fly the flag, The correct way to do is to raise it half way from sunrise to noon where we remember those have died then all the way to the top for the rest of the day were we praise for the living veterans and those who serve. Another way is to just say thank you that means a lot to the soldier and they appreciate it very much. You can also write a letter saying thank you. Some interesting things i found were that more than 36 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home. I also found that Congress passed a law requiring Americans to pause at 3 pm on memorial day to remember and honor the fallen. I think memorial day is a very important day for many people. I feel everyone should celebrate no matter what their origin is because they are here and they as well are being protected. Many people had family members go to war and have died. I think they deserve for us to honor them just like they protected us. Something i will do to honor the is to pause at 3:00 pm for a moment of silence. This is is a good day to remember those who have fallen and learn more about it.

Acting well
"act well your part; there all honor lies"
Alexander Pope
What this quote means is that all honor lies were you act weel . So when you are acting well, nice, kind that is were all the honor is. If you act like a fool there is no honor. People will see you as a fool and not as someone with disipline. People with disipline are the ones with Honor. For example if you are with friends and they are all fooling around in class they will fail. If you follow allong you will fail to. However, if you dont follow allong you will pass. That will give you honor. This is because you passed the class while your friends that were messing around failed.
