Blog #6: 2nd Semester: Hope

Hope may come in many different ways. It may come from a gift received or may come with just a simple thank you. I you were to feel down and someone came up to you and said "Thank You" for something you did for them, it will bring up your spirit because you feel that someone respects you and acknowledges your kindness. For example, a couple of years ago, my soccer team went to the championship game. In the start of the second game of the final, we were up 3-2. Half way through the game they scored two goals and they were up 3-4. All my teammates were giving up and saying that there was no way that we could win the game. But I had confidence in my teammates that they come back from the deficit and probably win the game. The second half started, and 15 minutes in we scored a goal and tied up the game. In the last 5 minutes of the game we got a PK in our favor, and we scored and ended up winning the game. So even though situations may be hard to overcome, if you believe and have hope, it may turn out for the best.
