Respect

Respect is the only thing that can make a person to become a good one. Respect can take you to everywhere you want to go. Respect doesn't start at school or at work; respect starts at home, where you respect your parents and your family. After you respect your family, you respect the outside people passing by the road.

After passing people with respect, you respect at school or at work, where you respect your teachers, or your bosses and managers. If you want to be respected, you first respect other people and yourself.

If you have respect, people will love you, and it will help you when you are old. When you are old, you have to teach the children to respect others. If you want to be a good person, you must have respect.
