The Everlasting Hope
Every day when we find a new beginning, we find a new source of hope. When someone gives up on hope, it is never truly lost, they just don’t believe they can do it. Sometimes, we think that we are not good enough that we give up and lose hope. When we have hope, we strive for what we want for a good cause. A cause that can be found and shared anywhere –school, home, and community. Hope is always there. It is just waiting to be found. We ourselves are even bearers of it. We can share hope through a simple “You can do it!” Nothing beats a simple joke or story that can make someone happy and hopeful. Filipinos are good at this. We could easily get hope anywhere after all that we’ve been through. They learn from their mistakes and work hard for what they want. We can also stand beside those who need help because it makes them feel supported, strong and full of hope. Every day we spread hope without knowing we did. We compliment others that makes them feel happy and hopeful. Hope is also shared through prayer. When we ask help from God, He gives us new hope and a chance to do something superior and great. Hope can be shared also through actions. We help and comfort each other by hugging, holding hands and whispering encouraging words. Every day we, students, share hope by helping one another. Through that we show that we believe in each other and that we can do something better. When one thinks that what he is doing is not right, we help him to get his spirits up and give him hope. Hope encourages someone to do better. We can help people to find hope anywhere. The victims of the typhoon Yolanda lost hope because of the said tragedy.
