Co-Editor-in-Chief Recently, for my birthday, someone
who knows me very well gave me a
birthday gift that t me, but more inter-
estingly, that made me think. The gift
is called a Buddha Board Mini. It is a
bit hard to explain, but basically it is just
a special type of paper propped up on a
canvas. It comes with a brush that you
dip in water and paint onto the canvas.
All of this seems relatively plain jane,
but theres another detail- a catch, if you
will. The masterpiece that you createdisappears after about thirty seconds
Now this may seem really silly to you,
but the Buddha Board Mini is not just
something hopeless artists and art en-
thusiasts hoard in their homes among
other such trinkets. It has a message.
Buddha Board Mini is inspired by the
Zen idea of living in the moment. You
simply paint on the surface with water
and your creation will come to life in
bold design. It is meant to teach you to
master the art of letting go, of living in
the moment. For example, one of thesymbols drawn as an example is Enso.
Enso innite art gently encourages you
to value the here-and-now. Enso comes
from the Japanese word circle and is
a simple, single brushstroke that rep-
resents innity and the ow of life. It
is an artistic expression of the moment.
This thoughtful gift made me think
about living in the moment. I sometimes
think too much, overthink and make my-
self anxious, usually about the future.
The future scares me, which I know isclich, and typical, and maybe even a
little cowardly. The unknown scares hu-
mans, we like to know things, we like to
know what is going to happen to us; it
makes us feel safe. A lot of things in life
are not just terrifying but difcult; think-
ing too much can usually be traumatic.
Sometimes when our minds and thoughts
are not in the moment, the emotions of
the moment pass us by, they leave us and
you are left wishing you had been able
to experience all of those moments,
more importantly, you are left wishyou had been all there to experience
of the emotions behind the mome
I am a strong believer in feeling ev
emotion we are meant to feel, and ev
emotion that passes through us. To th
about the future and the fearful emoti
that come with it, instead of the emoti
of the present, seems like such a wast
me. We cannot touch the future; it is
always will be out of our grasp, but
present is touching our palms right n

Finalists to compete in Clements IdoBy JAIDA SWANSONReporter The annual Clements Idol talentcontest is set for Friday, Feb. 20 in the
auditorium at 7 p.m. Clements Idol is
an annual tradition started over a decade
ago. is loosely based on American Idol.
The difference between the two however,
is instead of having a set amount of
judges, the audience votes for the winner.
The tickets are ve dollars and anyone
who attends gets to vote. It is open to the
general public. The auditions are held in
December and the CTV producers pick
ten acts to compete against each other.
Clements Idol is the Sistine Chapel
of high school talent shows. Its a classy,
yet playful experience worth much more
than the ve dollar admission fee,
said Reilly Lenechek, CTV producer.
Clements Idol was created by the CTV
producers to raise fund for equipment for
their broadcast station. The talent show
accepts all sorts of acts as long as they
are school appropriate. Performers of
all types participate in Clements Idol,
such as: musicians, singers, dancers,
martial artists, and once there was
even a winning hand ute player. Theacts there will be introduced by
guest presenters who are seniors from
various clubs and organizations. The
voting process provides the audience
with a ballot to vote for their favorite
entertainer. The CTV staff counts votes
and announces the winner the same night.
It certainly is going to be an excellent
example of a talent show this year. I
feel it in my heart. Come out and see
some great acts, and my band Oddities
plays while you vote, said Lane
Glasscock, senior and CTV producer.
I hope a lot of people come, because
its great fun, and I am always amazed
at the amount of talent our school
has, said Linda Carroll, CTV sponsor.
The winner of Clements Idol along
with second and third place will receive
trophies. The winner however, gets the
bragging rights as the idol of Clements.

On July 4th, 1776, the United States
of America declared itself independent
from Britain under the argument that
all men are created equal, that theyare endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness. Though this country
was founded on equality, equality was
nonexistent for African Americans.
Their ght for equality is one of the most
powerful struggles in American history.
The many efforts of civil rights activists
from Sojourner Truth to Martin Luther
King Jr.have made a great impact on
society today, and many honor African
Americans ght for equality in the month
of February with Black History Month.
Clements High Schools African
American Students Association is a school
club that celebrates the African culture not
only in February, but also all year round.
We spread awareness about the
African culture and emphasize the need
for people to connect with their own
roots, said Michelle Egbuna, junior and
African American Students Associationvolunteer coordinator. She and many
other members of the club see importance
in taking pride in ones own culture.

Valentines Day is the perfect time
to get a gift for your special one just
to show how much you appreciate
them in your life, but there are some
items that you dont want to get them.
Here are some gifts that you denite-
ly should not get your signicant other.
Gift cards-They are acceptable birth-
day presents for people you dont knowthat well, like a distant cousin, aunt, or
uncle that lives far away and that you
dont know much about. However,
you should know enough about your
signicant other to try a little harder.
Cologne/perfume-Unless the oth-
er person has specically mentioned
a brand or perfume that they want or
like, dont do it. They may have an al-
lergy you dont know about, some terri-
ble memory tied to that perfume, strong
smells that might give them a head-
ache, or they just may not like it. Not
only will they be embarrassed, but you
will too so it is denitely not worth it.
A giant stuffed animal-Stuffed toys
and animals are gifts for tweens or chil-
dren, but for signicant other, probably
not. A gift like this is a sign that you are
dating someone who is way too you
for you emotionally. Also, this gift
take up valuable storage for which y
signicant other and embarrass th
when their friends or parents come ov
Clothes-Clothes are not the best
to give your special one on Val
tines Day. There are so many thi
that can go wrong like if its too sm
the person might feel fat and if
too big, they will think that you ththeyre fat, which is probably wo

During Valentines Day there is a
chance to spend time with your signif-
icant other. It is expected that Valen-
tines Day is memorable and roman-
tic. Here are some ideas on where
to take a date for the special day.
Drive- In Movie: Drive- in movies are
very romantic and fun. It is a chance to
be with a date and watch a great movie
together. It is also a lot more creative and
thoughtful than just going toAMC theatres.
Perrys Steakhouse and Grill: Al-
though it is very expensive, it is also
a wonderful place to take your date
for Valentines Day. They serve great
American food that pleases many.
Gruene Hall: For couples who like to
dance, Gruene Hall is a wonderful dance
hall that allows both guys and girls to
have a fun time dancing with one another.
Galveston Beach: This is a classic,
fun getaway to do with a signicant oth-
er. Beaches are very romantic, with the
warm sand, sun, and cooling water. Plus,
since it is February, there is a chance
to take a nice calming walk at night.
Ice skating: Ice skating is incredibly
fun and a sweet date to take a valen-
tine. There is a rink right here in Sugar
Land. The most famous ice skating rinks
are in Memorial Mall and the Galleria.
Bowling Alley: Bowling is also
a classic and entertaining date for
Valentines Day. A great bowl-
ing alley to go to is AMF bowling,
A picnic in one of the local parks can
be very romantic. Fill a basket with
fresh food, a nice tablecloth or blan-
ket, and do not forget the owers.
San Antonio River Walk: This is an
extraordinarily beautiful place to tak
valentines date. It is a nice and calm
place to walk with restaurants and sh
all by the famous San Antonio Ri

Treat loved ones to homemade meals
By EVELYN LAZARIS
Lifestyles Editor
Is there a dinner planned for a special
someone, but not sure what to make? Are
the few ideas ordinary instead of roman-
tic? Here are the top ten things to cook
for a signicant other on Valentines Day.
Shrimp Cocktail- For dinner it is es-
sential to have an appetizer. Stay away
from mozzarella sticks and opt for a
more romantic option that sets the mood.
Milkshakes- The way to a girls heart
is chocolate- and lots of it. Do not for-
get the whipped cream and a cher-
ry on top! To make a sweet gesture,
put two straws in one glass. Classic.
Steak- Light up the grill and get out a
kiss the chef apron! Steaks are a perfect
main entre for any romantic occasion.
Angel Hair Pasta- This dish is per-
fect for a Valentines dinner! Even
its name sounds magical. Prepare
the angel hair pasta with some gar-
lic and rosemary and then top it off
with plenty of grated parmesan cheese.
Roasted Chicken- Spend time preparing
a roasted chicken with thyme and ground-
ed black pepper. For the sides, green
beans and baked potatoes are perfect.
Spaghetti- One of the most icon-
ic romantic dinner entrees is spa-
ghetti. It is an easy course to prepare
and will leave both people satised.
Lasagna- Play it safe and make lasa-
gna. Most people love it and it is a fairly
simple dish to make. Experiment with
different cheeses to get the perfect taste!
Salmon- Grilled salmon seasoned
with paprika and garlic is an entre
that can be both healthy and deli-
cious at the same time. Do not forget
the sides! Asparagus and rice pilaf
go great with almost any type of sh.
Snicker doodles- While wait-
ing on the food, a couple can m
cookies together. How roman
Chocolate-covered strawberries- W
it comes time for desert, there is no
ing wrong with classic chocolate c
ered strawberries. It is easy and a d
cious treat a signicant other is sure
love! Simply melt 16 ounces of ch
olate chips in a double broiler and
the ends of the strawberries. To ens
they come out perfect, place a toothp
into the top of each strawberry and st
them in some Styrofoam to cool off

FIRST DATE MISTAKES CAN BE AVOIDEBy EVELYN LAZARIS
Lifestyles Editor
First dates can be terrifying. Finding
a middle between small talk and deep
conversation about life plans is dif-
cult. Take something too far or hold
back too much and there likely will
not be a second date. Here are a few
tips on what not to do on a rst date.
Do not say I love you. The whole
point of a rst date is to test the waters
and decide if there is any romantic chem-
istry between two people. No one is real-
ly ready for a serious relationship at this
point, and a declaration of love will scare
away most dates. There should not be
any pressure on either person into feel-
ing something that is not really there.
Do not talk about exes. No one
wants to hear about ex-girlfriends or
boyfriends. It makes the date feel
crowded. There should only be two
people mentioned during a rst date.
One should not use the phone too much.
Text messages and Instagram notications
can wait. All attention should be focused
on the date. If one person is constantly
glancing at their phone, it shows a lack of
interest in forming a lasting relationship.
Do not be late. First impressions are
everything. If one person shows up
late, it may seem as if the date is not
important to that person and could be
pushed back to wait on other plans.
Do not conduct an interview. No one
wants to feel as if they are applying
a job on a rst date. Instead of ask
a series of questions, a good idea
to talk about things the couple has
common. The conversation should
mutual, not a one sided questionna
Do not talk about controversial t
ics. It is okay to playfully argue o
trivial things like favorite sports tea
but try not to bring up any world pr
lems. The rst date is not the place
form a debate especially if there is h
for the relationship to go anywh
Do not expect a date to pay the bill. T
goes for both guys and girls. The b
compromise is to offer to split it. Start
off equal precipitates an equal relati
ship. If a date decides the other perso
paying however, he should just go wit
Following these few tips will not gu
antee a perfect rst date. Anything co
happen. The most important thing to
member is to remain true to oneself

HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE CAN LAST, RIGHT?By ALY BOBO
Ads Editor
It seems that once studnets enter the
doors of high school their quests for
love begin, but the love that is formed
always seems to fall apart. What are
people doing wrong and why arent these
relationships working? These relation-ships always seem to start out great,
but somewhere along the road some-
one becomes bored or unfaithful. Find-
ing someone who makes you laugh and
puts a smile on your face is easy, but
keeping them around is the hard part.
It can be said that most high school
relationships come to an end, but it is
important to know the secret on how to
make them work while they last. Here
are some tips in order to maintain healthy
and happy relationships in high school.The rst and most important tip is to
nd someone with the same maturity
level. Compatibility is found in how
one interacts with others and the im-
mature class clown usually will not get
along too well with the more reserved
and shy focused individual. Maturity
also lies in priorities. Dating someone
who cares equally about college rather
than someone who only cares about their
next party is probably the better choice.
The second rule of successful high
By PATRICIA ANNE MANZINARES

It is the month of love all over again
and some people do not have a signicantother to spend Valentines Day with. A
tip to start the month of love; do not ever
feel bad being single, because there are
some ups and downs being a single man/
woman. Here are a few suggestions what
to do if youre single on Valentines Day:
1.) No one has to be in a relationship to
make themselves feel special, before a
person can love another person, one must
start with oneself. For girls, treat yourself
with something good to make yourself
feel better such as: treating yourself witha Starbucks coffee or maybe even get-
ting a mani-pedi. For guys, buy yourself
a new video game or new kicks, some-
thing that will help make you feel better.
2.) Since Valentines Day falls on a
weekend this year, try spending the
day with friends doing something fun
like; going shopping, having a pic-
nic, eating somewhere nice and end-
ing the day watching rom-com movies.
3.) Forget all the heartbreaks in the past
and watch movies that are non-roman-
tic or better yet watch movies that can
help ease the mood like action mov-
ies. Who knows maybe one can learnhow to do martial arts just by watch-
ing. Instead of watching a romantic
movie on Valentines Day, why not
try watching a new genre of movies.
4.) Stay Fit. Take a fun tness class, mar-
tial arts or just go to the gym. It will make
a great past time and can help boost peo-
ples mood and is considered healthy too!
5.) Last but not least, do not bring
yourself down just because couples
are everywhere. Remember that, Val-
entines Day is only celebrated fora day. The best way to celebrate
Valentines is with family but, they
wouldnt want to be exchanging gifts?
Wouldnt they? So, instead of exchang-
ing gifts with the family plan a secret San-
ta (Valentines Day style) with friends.
6.) Try something new, like reading
a book, learning to play a/an instru-
ment, or maybe even try to play a new
sport. Who knows it might be one of the
things that can be a new favorite hobby.
7.) Spend time helping out, try going
childrens home, senior citizen centewomens shelter. Help out the commu
ty by playing with the kids or cookin
special dinner for those in need. A sm
act of kindness is never a small th

2015 major year for gamers
By WILL HERNANDEZ
Reporter
With 2014 behind us, millions of gamers
have been looking to what is ahead. The
PS3/Xbox 360/Wii generation is most-
ly in the past. Although, a few games
here and there are still being developedfor them. But 2015 is an important year
for many, as the PS4, Xbox One, and Wii
Us capabilities will be fully explored,
both visually and gameplay-wise. Here
are three games that have people in a
frenzy. All are set to come out this year:
It is safe to say that after Nintendos
11/5/14 Nintendo Direct, The Legend of
Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D is everyones
most anticipated game of this year, at
least for Nintendo fans. The reaction it
got all over the games industry and me-dia is evident of that. Majoras Mask
was originally released on the Nintendo
64 during the consoles late stages. Be-
ing overshadowed by the PS2s release,
most never got to experience Majoras
Mask as they did with its predecessor,
Ocarina of Time. It also did not help its
case that it was not an Ocarina of Time
clone. Nintendo went for a tone that
was dark, creepy, and just straight-up
different from every prior Zelda release.
Since then, it has gone on to garner a
huge fanbase, some even citing the ever
so eerie game as their favorite Zelda...
ever. Following the release of Ocari-
na of Time 3D, Zelda fans wanted the
same new-school treatment that fan-fa-vorite Ocarina of Time got. Fans even
went as far as to start a petition asking
Nintendo to make a Majoras Mask 3D,
called Operation Moonfall. After three
long years of begging, and easter eggs by
Nintendo, Majora's Mask 3D was nal-
ly announced for a Spring 2015 release.
The fun picks back up this summer.
Batman fans around the world rejoiced
when Rocksteady Studios announced the
sequel to the critically acclaimed Bat-
man: Arkham City. Batman: ArkhamKnight -- exclusive to PS4 and Xbox
One -- picks up one year after the events
of Arkham City. Batman is back to
take on his nal adventure in the Rock-
steadys original universe. The Arkham
franchise, dating back to Arkham Asy-
lum, has been consistently praised for
its free-owing, responsive, and excit-
ing combat. With the power of PS4 and
Xbox One, Rocksteady has said that
theyll push Arkham Knight to its l
its, continuing to dene what a Batm
game should be. After getting hit wi
huge delay, Batman: Arkham Knight

A determined and hardworking
student, Alexis Vu has high hopes in
pursuing a career in dentistry and to one
day open her own dental practice.
"I would also like to help run a den-
tal charity that travels to developing
countries and provide dental care for the
people there, she said.
The classes that Vu is currently takingare: Calculus AB, Scientic Research
and Design, AP Environmental Science,
AP Statistics, AP English 4, and PALS.
She is also a part of Student Council,
Diversity Club, Science NHS, National
Honor Society, Spanish NHS, Genera-
tion Youth Humanitarian Organization,
and DECA.
"I think the most impactful clubs
for me were StuCo, Generation, and
DECA, said Vu.
As a senior that is nally graduatingthis year and starting a new chapter of
her life, she feels bittersweet about her
departure from high school.
"I loved my time at Clements and I
have made friends that have become
like a second family to me. It will be
hard to say goodbye to everyone, but I
am excited to start a new chapter in my
life," Vu said.

like a family this year.
I feel that were all new to each
other this year, but after a couple weeks
of practice, were going to be a great

Making the varsity team is not an easy
task because it is very competitive, for
this reason, he regards making the team
the biggest hurdle he jumped in hissoccer career. Hubert does have some
peculiar traditions when it comes to
preparing for a game.
I eat a bucket of fried chicken from
Popeyes, said Hubert.
He might take this tradition all the
way to college as he hopes to play
Division 1 soccer while studying to be
an engineer. If offered the opportunity
to play soccer as a profession, he would
leap at it, but if not, he would be happy
pursuing a career in the engineering
eld. Apart from soccer, Hubert man
ages his grades and life in a balance.
He is an active member of National
Honor Society, too.
Tyler Hubert has earned many mem
ories these past years in Clements in
soccer, in school and in all aspects of
his life.

In the past, when it comes to baby
names, people used traditional names
from previous centuries, but times have
changed. Today we see people creating
new traditions by naming their children
with unique monikers. They are starting
to create what many people consider
crazy names, and celebrities are leading
the way in this naming fad.
Sixties rocker Frank Zappa named his
sons Dweezil and Ahmet and his daugh-
ters Moon Unit and Diva Thin Mufn.
Because he is a big fan of comic
books, actor Nicholas Cage named his
son Kal-El.
U2s leader singer, Bono, named his
child Memphis Eve in tribute to the
Tennessee town.
Daughter of Beyonc and Jay Z, Blue
Ivy was born in 2012 and named after
Jay Zs favorite color and their favorite
number, IV.
Daughter of Kim Kardashian and
Kanye West, North Wests name is
arguably one of the strangest names out
Celebs lead way with crazy namethere.
The son of Alicia Keys is named
Egypt. It is common for children to benamed after a location, but it is usually
Ireland, London or India.
Years ago, actors Bruce Willis and
Demi Moore named their girls Rum-
er, Scout, and Tallelulah, while Ashlee
Simpson and Pete Wentz named their son
after a New York borough and a ctional
character Bronx Mowgli.
The daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow cer-
tainly has a special name - Apple. Being
named after this fruit has not been done
before, but the name Cherrie or Cherry is
not so unique.
Michael Jackson named his youngest
son Blanket, while Jacksons brother,
Jermaine Jackson named his son Jermaj-
esty. Lil Kim followed that by naming
her daughter Royal Reign.
In keeping with these unique names,
here are some names that make you go

general public.

Psychologist and researcher Arthur
Aron conducted a study on how people
can fall in love. He had two strangers
enter a room through two separate
doors and sit in chairs facing each oth-
er. They then took turns asking and
answering a series of questions which
took about 45 minutes. After this, they
were told to stare into each others
eyes for four minutes without talking.
This couple eventually married. This
magazine does not imply that this will
happen to readers, but for fun, here
are some of the questions in order:

12. If you could wake up tomorrow
having gained one quality or ability,

Reporter recalls AFL-NFL historyBy WILL HERNANDEZ

Before Doritos commercials, It was
Super Bowl I, at the time dubbed as
the AFL-NFL World Championship
Game, where the winning team of
both the AFL and NFL would battle
it out for glory, and to prove which
league was better, once and for all.
1967 was just the beginning. Once the
AFL and NFL completed their merger
to make the NFL in 1970, the league
spiraled into the entertainment giant that
it is today. But before the Super Bowl
was made into an unofcial American
holiday, garnering 115.3 million views,
and known as the second-largest day for
food consumption in the US, it was in the
midst of a battle against its rival league.
The National Football League started
in 1920, and made it forty years beforefacing any real competition. While many
football leagues tried to compete, none
got as close as the American Football
League, established in 1959. The
AFL was created by Lamar Hunt and
his son H.L., after getting rejected by
the NFL. It was only a matter of time
until the NFL took notice, and when
Quarterback Joe Namath signed with an
AFL team over the NFL, a real rivalry
between the two leagues started to form.
It only took one year after the fac

Between balancing academics and
athletics, a hard job for any high school
student, is to know how to plan time forother activities outside of school. From

well in classes, it seems that Nash Cole,

Cole participates in soccer as
his sole sport and proves that it is
important to be involved in what

that practicing as much as possible was
important for success in any activity.As advice to other fellow athletes, Cole
said, Practice as much as you can, because
come game time, you have to be prepared.
For any athlete it is important
to have a good support system of
family, friends, or for Cole, both.
My family and friends are very
important to me. They love coming
to my games and supporting me
in every way possible, said Cole.
Along with having a support system
in place, an athlete needs certainqualities to make it through the
training that comes with any sport.
Determination, self-condence,
focus, and aggressiveness, said Cole.
These are the qualities that make

Valentines Day brings loveBy JAIDA SWANSONReporterEveryone needs a feel good holiday,
especially one that validates feelings
people have for each other. Valentines
Day is a holiday that celebrates love and
happiness. On Valentines Day, people
can show their
true appre-
ciation
for their
signif-
icantothers
and to
friends.
Ap-
preci-
ation is
expressed
throughgifts, such asowers, choc-
olates, jewelry, and other tokens. It is
a special day to make grand gestures and
acts of love for people kept close at heart.
Not only does it feel great to give a gift
to the person or multiple people, but it is
a simple way to express love. In short,
the world needs Valentines Day.
Valentines Day is also benecial to the
economy. In 2014, it is estimated that
Valentines Day contributed around 17.3billion dollars to the United States econ-
omy. This holiday helps local business-
es such as candy stores, ower shops,
grocery stores, and restaurant obtain
a surplus of customers, which in turn,
creates a surplus of prot. From Edible
Arrangements to local, high end restau-
rants, the holiday is an important factor
for businesses nancially.
Valentines Day also helps schools. All
across the country, carnations and singing
valentines are paid for by thousands of
students. This is usually a huge fundrais-
er for the campus and provides money
for improvements in the school such as:
technology, textbooks, and even expand-
ing the school.
Theholiday also
builds self-esteem. Having a boyfriend
or girlfriend during Valentines Day isrewarding, and it is a wonderful experi-
ence to receive and give gifts. It does not
matter if they are romantic or not, it is the
thought that counts.
Even without a date, the holiday is a
chance to realize that love is all around,
even if it is not romantic. There are
still family and friends that adore and
appreciate each other. It can even be a
way to teach people to love themselves.
Valentines Day also builds condence.
For example, when a person likes
someone, they can show their love as
a secret admirer by sending owers o
gifts, or maybe nd the courage to ask
their crush out on a date. It gives peop
the chance t
be brave anspontaneou
The world
needs more
love. This ho
day is a vital timthat brings out th
compassion anddevotion in everyon
surroundings. What m
wonderful way is there
than to celebrate positive
feelings through Valentine

Over the years, Valentines Day has
turned into an excuse to appreciate every-
thing and everyone. Setting aside one day
out of 365 is not enough to appreciate
everything one person has.
Dating back to the 5th century, Val-
entines Day is named for a Christian
martyr, Valentinus. A popular accountof Saint Valentine of Rome states that he
was imprisoned for performing weddings
for soldiers who were forbidden to marry
and for ministering to Christians, who
were persecuted under the Roman Em-
pire. Then in the 18th century, it evolved
into an occasion where lovers expressed
their love for each other by presenting
owers and other gifts.
Today, society has turned Valentines
Day into a money making industry and
uses the holiday as an excuse to sellcheap and useless things.
Buying gifts and planning the perfect
night can sometimes be expensive. Peo-
ple are losing the true meaning of what
Valentines Day is meant to be. Instead
of appreciating other people, most are us-
ing each other to receive gifts. Everyonewants the most expensive gift instead of
appreciating who it came from. Instead
of judging gifts by how big and expen-
sive they are, people should be thankf
for what they get and from whom it
comes.
Not everyone has a valentine, so forthe people who spend it alone, self-es
teem and condence is lowered signi
cantly on this holiday. People feel as
it is necessary to have a valentine/sign
icant other to truly experience happin
on Valentines Day. Also, people low
their standards to get anything just to
prove that they have someone to cele-
brate this occasion.
In conclusion, Valentines Day is a d
that should be about love and thankfu
ness. Instead, society has turned it inday for gift receiving and boasting ab
love. Instead of using Valentines Da
as an excuse to appreciate others, try
doing little things to show how impor
ant others are. Go out of the way to tr
something new to surprise loved ones
Try being unexpected. Valentines Da
should actually have meaning or else
should be uncelebrated.
