Bringing Hopes to Others

Ms. Yuen Lo Ka

The main theme of this school year is ‘Hope’. The definition of ‘Hope’ is
to have various goals with positive thinking and expect to achieve goals with
confidence.

As the school always teaches our students it is important to have hopes
in our lives, I believe many of them have different hopes. In one of the Life
Education lessons, I asked my students what they wanted most. Some of
them would like to be the champion of a swimming or fencing competition,
some were eager to get good grades in exams or dreamt to become a fireman
someday. From the discussion, I realized that students learnt how to plan and
find different ways to achieve their goals.

Besides having your own hope, it is also important to bring hope to the
people around you. Famous people like Nick Vujiji, Mother Teresa and Malala
Yousafzai are people who have physical disabilities. They had a tragic accident
or failure experiences. Even though they have been through difficult times,
they all have hopes and have found different ways to bring hope to the people
around them.

So, as for primary school students, what can you do to bring hope to
others? You can wear a smile, simply say ‘Hello’, be willing to share, say kind
words or encourage other people. In order to bring hope to the community and
to the world, you can help protecting the environment. For example, say no to
plastic bags, plastic straws, and plastic cutleries, so less and less plastic waste
will be dumped into the oceans in order not to hurt any animals.

Students can serve the community by selling flags, or participate in
community services. You can also donate some old clothes, toys or stationery
to the people in need. By doing these, you are actually spreading and bringing
hope to others. There are benefits by bringing hope to others, it can actually
help you sleep better, do better in school, be healthier and become a happier
person.

Let’s start bringing hopes to people today!
