I hope for a better future in this world. We live in a world where war is more important than living. There are still different stereotypes of different situation. We are up against legislation laws on who decides for who. "Man, every thing is changing more each day." I grew up in the ninety era and I guess tables where turning then. The world was gradually changing with new technology.

I remember when I use to get on a computer and words were all you saw. I never thought that we would now have the chance to see a picture on the screen. I also remember when talking on pay phones at the mall was like a fad. Now being able to walk and talk with a device in your hand is the coolest thing ever. I guess we hoped for more on technology and we have it. The question is do we depend on it too much? We all hope that technology will never hurt us in anyway.

I do hope to win the lottery, but I have not receive that yet. I guess I will have to wait and dream on a hopeful wish. I joke about it, but honestly, playing the lottery gives me hope. You know you have a fifty chance at winning. Every night you say, "hope this the one!" For some us we be ready to turn cart wheels. Then you here that power ball number come out. Reality hits you quick when it's a different number. Then you hope you can get to work the next day.

My ideas of being a writer is something that I hope to achieve. I can pour all ideas of my inner thoughts on paper. I just hope it makes sense to the audience. I also hope that one day that I will be able to sit home and just write. I work a ten hour shift and it's beginning to get a little overwhelming. I hope to be able to stop one day and just write short stories. I am hoping to create great stories to which you cant put the book down.

It's New Years evening tonight and I was hoping to stay up and do the count down. We had pretty good weather today it was a little chilly with sunshine. Today was pretty nice day to get out and shop. I was hoping to get out later on with family and friends. Instead, I jumped on the computer and begin to type. I just wanted to enjoy a cozy night with family. I just hope that everyone that is celebrating tonight be safe.

I guess there are a lot of things that we can hope for. I hope that we get a chance to live without poverty. Right now, money is the root to every situation. Money controls the world and we often ask who controls the money? I don't think it matters no more because.. no one is thinking about who controls it. We are only thinking about how to get to the money. That's why we play the lottery or go on game shows.

We hope and want to be winners and will sometimes spend that last dollar. The next thing you have to hope for, in case you don't win, is that someone loans you a few bucks. That's the life some of us know and live everyday. I called this life lesson to where I gambled on hope and lost. Hope is like an inspiration of faith it helps guides us to something good. Day to day, that's how some of us manage our survival. To hope for the good in something and it actually happens keeps us in good spirit.

I hope to live to see my next birthday everyday. I thank God for allowing me to see everyday now. Things happen so unexpectedly, that we are not thinking about leaving this world. We can only hope and pray for internal life. I sometimes here the religious ones hope for internal life. I don't think that it means your selfless giving the fact that you are not promise it. I do believe that there is internal life and only those that keep the faith will see it.

I mentioned earlier about the wars in this world. I hope indeed, that we put an end to that. The wars have become very horrific and no one can find a solution. How do we find a solution without war? I don't even think hope can get us out of that one. I can hope not to go to war. In reality someone done move the notion to beg the differ. It seems like a conversation among leadership should be the antidote.

Communication has become harder to see with other countries. We can only hope that these world leaders find some type of agreement. Watching the news everyday only to see that leadership has failed us. We vote a voice into office in hopes for changes in society. Sometimes we forget that they are only human. We miss the fact that they can only do but so much. These voices can only be heard if the other doors are open.

Hope is will always be in every person that is seeking a taste of luck. I will always be one of those to say, " Well, it's a new year, hope it's a better one." I say this every year, and every year it turns out to be the worst year ever. I think the problem is trying to adapt to the new ideas or laws. I am always facing a different dilemma and always have no solution out of it. I can hope and pray that I find a way to resolve it.

I am realizing that I have to make that "Hope" work for me. I have to find a way to work around the obstacles in my life. I hope that I continue to see beautiful days like today. I hope to stay safe from viruses and enemies. I have to remember to never stop praying about the situation. We can classify hope in many ways and wish for a better direction in life.

I can feel your passion for a better world. We must keep our faith because there is only One person who can fulfill the hope that we all desire...peace. I was able to follow your passion throughout the piece. I would suggest using word document editor (I recently have.) to help with sentence structure and word choices. Thank you for sharing your talent.
