Hope: Definition Of Hope In The United States

Decent Essays
HOPE

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” Albert Einstein once said. Hope is what our country needs during this transition to a new President. First of all, it's not always easy to define what hope means for our country. In my opinion, hope means sticking together and finding the light through the dark times. Additionally, hope means more jobs, better education, feeling safe and enjoying our freedoms. Although, some of us are happy about a change for America, and some of us are scared, we can not lose hope for our country. Finally, when you think of hope you can think of our futures. Furthermore, some people do not have hope,I know I do. “Hope has left you like a painted dream.” says Joseph Stansbury.
