The Role of Hope

In my experiences the role of hope changes all the time, depending on the situation.
I can hope to make a good grade on a paper or a test.
I can hope to stay in contact with every single one of my friends.
The list just goes on and on. In our book Sanders talks about the different kinds of hope, and then he starts to talk about the dog that he had as a child. Doby was a very happy-go-lucky dog who was constantly on the move, hoping for the best. This for me in the best kind of hope, the positive, glass half full attitude. The ability to love everything unconditionally also involves hope. No matter what happens to me good, bad, exciting, terrifying I always have hope that it is going to work out for the best not only for me but also everyone that it could possibly involve.
This aspect about me goes back to the first entry that I made about hope when I talked about being a little girl on Halloween just about dripping with hope that I would be able to have the carrot cake. This is an example of how I love when hope is positive.
All in all I feel that the role of hope is to offer positive influence to different situations, no matter what.
