In response to you raise to the occasion or you rise to the occasion (learning English)

It's 'Rise to the occasion' and it's typically a fixed-phrase in English.
You 'raise your glass' when you make a toast to somebody, you don't 'rise' it.
To lift something higher, you 'raise' it up.

'Rise to the occasion' essentially means to "accept a challenge".
