Eternal Hope

Although this is not a required assignment, I just wanted to react to the recent stabbing in a high school just east of Pittsburgh. I also wanted to note the shooting at Fort Hood, the unsuccessful search for Flight-370, and the turmoil in the Ukraine. It seems that right now, more than ever, the news is overwhelmingly negative. Death is an all too-common theme of modern society. Throughout these tragic events, however, it is important that people not get too caught up in the bad. There is so much good in the world, despite what people see on the news.
Life has its ups and downs, but through it all people need to realize that no matter what happens today, the sun will still rise tomorrow. I am sick and tired of negative events and individuals. It may seem hard to find the good in the world sometimes, but it is always there. I want to challenge you to look for good even in life's most trying moments. This will truly change your outlook on life. More importantly, I challenge you to always have a smile on your face. You may not be able to control other people's lives, but you sure can help guide their attitude.

Optimism,

Smiles, and

Happiness

Can and will change the world!
