Hey! Do you know that holiday, President's Day? Yes, the one we got of school on last Monday! Well it is actually one president's birthday, and that is George Washington. But does that really matter? I think not. Why change when we can celebrate all president's in one day. And besides to most of you it is just another day off of school.
Washington once said, "my ardent desire is, and my aim has been to comply strictly with all our engagements, foreign and domsetic; but to keep the United States from plitical connections with every other country." In other words, he will fight every battle, but will not cooperate with other governments using politics. A bold statement, but you must cooperate with others especially when you are president.
But what was said about him was spectacular. Things such as "his example is complete and shall teach us numerous things." But if these commentors were here to see other presidents they work they would redirect those words.
So all in all, yes George Washington was born on President's Day, but all of the other presidents have a birthday as well. So it doesn't matter what we celebrate on this holiday, even if you celebrate it at all.
