In this poem, I talk about how nature gives me hope. Through different examples, like the trees in seasons, I detail how nature exhibits hope in unique ways. Some hope to survive, others hope to change, etc. The examples that I see around me, show me that hope exists everywhere. At the end of the poem, I relate it back to myself, demonstrating that the things that I see around make me hopeful. They show me that hope is essential to get through difficulty/internal complaints, and instead be strong and content, always growing.

In a world where most see things negatively, my poem provided us with even more hope. It talks about the immense amount of hope already present in our world and how everyone should look for it instead of losing it.

When I first heard about this theme, I knew I had to write a poem for it. I am a lover of poetry, but this piece really had me thinking. I spent a good handful of time on figuring out how to write the poem. This is because I didn't want this to be just any random poem, I wanted it to be personal to me. I really wanted to get the message out there that anybody can change the world, so I really emphasized that. I HOPE everybody understands my message! Thank you, Shree Manickaraja, The Hopeful Boy

I am hopeful because there are people that inspires others to persevere through hard times. For everyone there is a person that inspires them to do better, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Harriet Tubman, etc...Without people like them, no one will rise up and face the music. They don't even have to be famous. They can be your parents, your friend, your brother, anyone, and they'll still have the same impact. My literature is about how when people are at a low point, others who choose to rise up helps others rise and persevere through

I felt a desire to celebrate cultural diversity at Mohr. realizing that my friends were unaware of Korean history and culture. I embarked on a journey to propose an event to honor various cultures. I prepared a presentation, seeking support from others. This endeavor garnered support from the school community. Despite changes in plans, it was a success, fostering a sense of belonging and respect within the school. I am hopeful because my thoughts can have a positive impact on many people and there are people who listen to my story.
