Ashley - Pride


Pride should not be used to boast. Pride should not be turned into conceit. Vain people turn the positive
aspects of pride into arrogant words. Pride is not the person who refuses to admit that he is wrong,
but the person who stands up for what is right. Pride is the person who says “I will defend my beliefs”
despite what others think. Those people are the ones society should be proud of.
