The Force of Hope

Hope is what gives us the determination to never give up and keep on trying. Even in those tough times in which we feel helpless and sometimes even alone. It allows us to have something to look forward to and to have that little feeling of happiness that lets you know that there is still something good that can arise from a situation.

It’s important that we have hope. Without it we would all feel like accomplishing nothing and to not keep on trying. To just simply give up and act like there is nothing in the world that can bring you back to life and to that point when you had ambitions and goals to fulfill.

I’ve indeed lost hope at times, especially with school. As a senior, applying to colleges can be stressful. I’ve slacked off throughout the year at times and although I wish I hadn’t, I did. I thought to myself that it was going to be immensely hard to gain admission into a college of my choice. I felt as if I was going to have to wait and see what would happen out of the whole situation. I thought that it was going to be virtually impossible to do.

But I thought long and hard. And soon, I regained hope. Teachers began to mention numerous of possibilities and ways to attend college even though you didn’t have the best grades ever. I researched and found that there are many ways to assist college and study my major.

I was relieved and comforted to know that I was going to be able to attend the college of my choice after all. And all because I regained hope and kept on fighting for what I wanted. This comes to show that throughout life, you may lose hope along the way and feel as if there is nothing you can do but give up-not true. Never give up hope and always be determined, because with determination and hope the sky is the limit.
