Who has hope? What is hope? These are some of the discussion questions we looked and evaluated over this week. Due to being raised in a wealthy family and having a very privileged life so far when I first think of hope I think of phrases such as, “I hope I get a 4.0 in this class.” Or “I hope I swim fast in the swim meet I have this weekend.” These are the hopes of a privileged twenty year old.

After this past week in class I think of hope on another level. Hope now means to have faith that there are positive things ahead and that life will turn around. Many of the stories from the website, invisiblepeople.tv.blog were of people that seemed to have hope. In many of the videos they ask the homeless person if they had three wishes what would they be. By them being able to answer this question it showed they had hope. If they would have come up blank when asked about wishes it would show they have given up all hope of a better future.

Hope has many different levels depending on whom you are talking to. To privileged people hope is not something with much meaning, while to less privileged people hope is one of the only things they do have. When you have nothing physically, mentally you can have hope that will help you get through each day because of the hope there will be a bigger and brighter tomorrow.
