How can HOPE make a difference in life?(Laceyhopkins) Hello. I am here today to talk to you about Hope and Faith. I am sure many of you have hard times and think that there is no need to have Hope in life. That's not true. In fact, it can help many people physically and emotionally. I have been through rough times at a young age. I didn't know what to do at the time. I was scared, lonely, and so sad all the time. I was depressed. It was so hard to try to get back up and move on. It felt like someone was pushing me over and over again. But just because of that doesn't mean I gave up. No, I did the opposite. I learned to have Hope and believe that Faith would carry me through hard times and be happy. I didn't have many people to rely on so I relied on myself. I told myself over and over again that I was strong and that I could take anything. I was trying so hard to be brave and believe that things would get better from time to time. It did work, I became happier and thought of positive thoughts. And so can you, if you try. For me, trying is a big word. It's important too. If you don't ever try anything you won't get far and nothing would change. So please, TRY. TRY to have hope when you're feeling down or something has gone wrong. TRY to have faith in what you do, be brave. Because I promise you, you won't regret it. That's all for now, but remember, know that you have courage and faith wherever you go.
Remember that. Thank you for listening.
