My family usually does a barbecue and we sit and we are thankful from our hearts. I am thankful for all of the soldiers who have dies in action and I am thankful for the soldiers who are still in action. I'm thankful that they are protecting our country everyday and making sure that we are safe. I always commemorate soldiers even on other days than memorial day because they are helping us live another day.

Intelligence

"Intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education" - Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. I think what this quote means is that intelligence is not the only important part of education. You need to have good character in other words you need to be a good person. You can be very smart and that's useful but if your not nice or kind then it won't matter because people won't want to work with you. In the future it is important that people work with you because you can't do everything by yourself. You will need help sometimes and if you aren't kind then no one will want to help you so how will you finish the job.

Weekend Effect

You are more likely to die on the weekend in the hospital. Doctors call is the "weekend effect". Patients are more likely to die off-hours  whether it's due to a  brain bleed , a  heart attack  or a  clot in the lungs. Ten years after a 2008 study showed lower survival rates during nights or weekends for in hospital cardiac arrest. The new study builds on that previous research, finding that treatment has indeed gotten better, but we haven't closed the night-and-weekends gap.  Between 2000 and 2014, weekday survival jumped from 16% to 25.2%, while weekend and weeknight survival rose from 11.9% to 21.9%, according to the new study's risk-adjusted numbers. About half of the patients in the study more ten 150,000 patients from 470 US hospitals experienced cardiac arrest off-hours. Research has also found that children admitted to the hospital for common, urgent surgeries on weekends had a higher adjusted risk of death, blood transfusions, and other complications. Res
