Power of Hope

Do you believe in the power of hope?

Hope is invisible, no smell, and no form. Hope seems to be farther away and harder to catch. But I’d like to say that hope is close to us and that the power of hope is enormous.

Many people around the world are dying, sick, and unable to live their daily lives because of the big virus called COVID-19.

I can’t meet with family members and I can’t meet my friends and teachers. I can’t even take a walk in front of my house. Even the school we love has been taken away from us. I'm meeting my teachers and friends in online classes, but it's not as fun as school.

It’s good to take physical education classes in the playground, swimming in the pool, and having lunch with friends. At this moment full of negative thoughts, Why don’t we think about hope?

Thinking about hope means expressing a positive mind. The vaccine has been invented, so the virus will no longer be active! Then as soon as possible, we can go to school, take a walk, and there will be no sick people!

Look at your face. Isn’t there a smile on your face? As positive energy is created in our hearts, laughter will appear on our faces on our own.

Hope changes our thoughts at once and brightens our surroundings. Hope makes me laugh and makes my family and friends laugh.

Before you go to bed, think that tomorrow will be more enjoyable and happy than today. Imagine what good things are likely to happen to me. Then, your sleeping face is comfortable and you will have a happy dream.

Hope is closer to me than I think and fair to everyone. Let’s believe in the power of hope!

Thank you for your lovely essay "Power of Hope", Haram. Let's remember all the good things around us, keep a positive mind and continue with happy dreams. We always shall believe in the enormous power of hope!

Congratulations! Well done!
