Video Review by Kelly Doyle
“The Best Thing You’ll Ever do for Yourself” Video Review
By Kelly Doyle
The best thing that you will ever do for yourself is respect yourself and other people. But you have to give respect in order to get respect back. You need to have respect for whoever is in charge of your house or at your job. You need to respect for everybody and they should respect you too. If you feel like they are not respecting you then you should tell them how you feel but don’t be rude about it unless they really deserve it.
