But sometimes, we don’t act ac- cording to the quantity of self-respect we have. Our conduct reflects the esteem we have for ourselves. After all, it is not what we say that counts, but our actions. Consider, for example, van- dalism. This action shows very low self-respect, because the kind of actions you make, sometimes shows the kind of person you are. Also, a person does not have to be spirited to have pride. Pride is something inside every person: it is not built up by other people. There is no need to demonstrate or publicize this self- respect. Conduct will speak for itself. If every person individual- ly has this respect, together we will build a group of respect for, in this case, our school. This conduct is observed by a great number of people. When you are part of a group, that respect is thought to be not only your respect, but that of the whole group. The entire group is judged according to any of its members’ conduct. It also shows how much you care for that organization. Your self-respect is the pride you have in yourself and in your school. — Jesus Garcia Calendar for December Nov. 24 FHA Bake sale, lunchtime, at the main entrance.
