BP4 QTR3: President's Day

        I think that they should rename President's Day to "George Washington's Day" because he was a wonderful man! You are able to see this within the two quotes. One of the quotes written by George Washington himself, and the other written by a citizen named Daniel Webster.


        George Washington quoted "In a word, I want an American character, that the powers of Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves and not for others; this is in my judgment, is the only way to be respected abroad and happy at home." This shows that George Washington cared for our country. He wants us to be independent and strong, just like our country. He helped make it to what it is today. That's why I think that Presidents' Day should be changed to "George Washington's Day".

        Daniel Webster quoted "Wherever men love liberty, wherever they believe in patriotism, wherever they exalt high character, by universal consent they turn to the name of George Washington. No occasion could be conceived more worthy, more truly and comprehensively American, than that which is chosen to commemorate this divinely 

appointed captain". This shows that others think the same thing I do. George washington was amazing. He is the father of our country. 

        In concluion, George Washington was great. He helped make our country to what is has become today; independent, strong, and treated with dignity. He is the father of our country! You are able to see his greatness within the two quotes included in this essay. And this is why I think President's Day should be renamed to "George Washington's Day".
