Good morning, dear principals, teachers and school mates, Good morning! I am Kayla of Grade 7, this is my partner Chaney. Welcome to the last Flag raising ceremony of this semester.
Respect for each other is an eternal topic. The ripe wheat ears are full and bent over. The real giant must bend down to do things. Respect is as important as air in life. It is the source of integration between people. Respect is a kind of self-cultivation, it is the intelligence and elegance embodied in the gestures. Respect is an equality, don’t look down, don’t look up; neither obsequious nor arrogant.
Now let us welcome the Head of middle school, Ms. Rebecca to share some methods of how we can gain respect of others.

As a young person, it can be frustrating when you’re expected to give respect and yet you don’t always receive that same respect in return. That type of frustration is very understandable.
Here, I’m going to share with you some actions you can start taking to gain respect from others:
1. Show Respect for Those Around You…
Respect is a two-way street. In order to gain respect, you have to be a giver of respect as well. Make sure that you hand out respect as you go around your school or your community.
2. Show that You Can Make Good Choices…Take the initiative to handle your schoolwork, chores around your house and job responsibilities seriously. Do the responsible thing without having to be told or reminded to do so every time. Your attitude and behavior are two important factors in whether other people will respect you or not.
3. Speak Up for What is Right…
For the most part, by the time we’re in our early teens we know right from wrong on many levels. To gain respect, not only should you always do what’s right – irrespective of the consequences – but you should speak up for what is right.
4. Show that You Believe Your Life is Important…
Your study habits, what you do with your spare time, what outside interests you have and many similar factors reveal what you think about yourself. As people observe your attitude and behavior, these observations will go a long way toward you gaining their respect…respect that you hopefully deserve.
Respect is a very powerful ingredient in how people – even total strangers – treat each other. If we could spread enough of it around, acts of respect could, in fact, change the world.
Are you willing to give it a try?
Next, please enjoy the song “Invisible Wings” performed by Grade 7 Wendy、 Miki、 Kayla、Summer and Happy.
Everyone has a pair of invisible wings, respect ourselves, don’t be afraid of failure, stick to it, dreams will blossom!
Let us start with trivial matters, respect ourselves, respect others, and respect this society.
