2. Anne Frank said, "Whoever is happy will make others happy too." Use this quote to write about a particularly happy memory.  

3. Booker T. Washington wrote, "Success isn't measured by the position you reach in life. It's measured by the obstacles you overcome." At some time or other, we all face obstacles.
