Hope


Long time ago, Pandora was the most beautiful woman on earth. One day Zeus gave her an adorable box as a wedding gift. However, he ordered her that she should never opened the box. Pandora ‘s curiosity does not stop her from disobeying the order. One day, she lifted the lid to peep in, and suddenly a dusty gray cloud came out the box, along with disease, despair, old age, malice, greed, violence and death. She closed the box immediately, and the only thing left in the box, is hope.

Recently, I was in despair of my own grades. I kind of agree that, A means Average, B means bad, C means crap and D means die! Right now, I was doing crap on all my midterms. I worked so hard and I ended up with low grades. This probably will be the first time I will receive C’s in my life. Three C’s in a row, my GPA will just be miserable. Sometime, I don’t know why am I working hard for. For grades? For a better future? Right now, I don’t know what I want and I cannot see my future, either. On the other hand, I realize I’m such a loser that getting depress by my grades. A lot of children in Africa struggle to survive because of lacking food, but they still want to live. A lot of people cannot fulfill their dreams because they are suffered from illnesses. Why should I be depressed just because of getting bad grades, and not thinking that I still have hope to do well in the finals? Having bad grades is not the end of the world. People still can get in graduate schools with low GPA if they are passionate to specialize in a certain area. My Dad who is fifty six, but his multiply illness does not stop him from working, because he hopes his hardworking will give him a promotion one day. My aunt who suffered from cancer go through a lot treatments, she hopes to live and hopes to have the ability to take care of her children again. I realized we are not born to suffer because once we have hope, it motivates us to move forward. We can lose anything in our life such as friendship, money or health, but there is one thing no one can take always from us, which is “HOPE”.

I did poor on my midterms too. I was worry too! But I know that I cannot just feel depress, but to think positively and work hard for the next time. Don't worry! you will be fine! Keep in mind that there is hope! think positively! be happy!
