January 1st, 12:00 AM, millions of people gathered around New York City in their large coats and festive new years decorations. All together to celebrate, a new year. Mid-January, Martin Lr. King Jr. day, students learning mini-lessons in their social studies classes, the speech playing on television, showing what has shaped us to we know today. 

February 14th, Valentine’s Day, the day of love. Children pass out little cards with candy, husbands bringing their wifes chocolates and people who are realizing their freedom of love. Late May, Memorial Day, On this day the military personnel who have died serving the United States Armed Forces, are greatly honored in moments of silence.

In the months of May and June, there is Mother’s Day and Father's day. Children come running from their bedrooms after making homemade cards with poems and letters about how much they care for them.

December 25, Christmas, The holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. The holiday of spending time with family, opening presents next to the crisp fire. All year-round, we are free to celebrate however we may choose. As Americans, we get one vote, to vote in what we believe in. We have the ability to have a say in what we honor, and to me, this is freedom. My vote in 2020 will be a reflection of what I honor and what I believe in.
