Look at this
photo, What do you see? Yes, a tree, sky, and a partial sunrise may all be in
view but look closer. What could the meaning of such a photo be? Well, I'll
tell you. What you're looking at is hope. Each and every morning the sun rises,
starting the day with a new and hopeful outlook. The slate is wiped clean, with
every new sunrise bringing hope. Hope is simply what brings people together; it
makes us who we are.
This photo
symbolizes the endlessness of hope as well. Imagine this: The sun has risen in
this very sky since the dawn of time itself. Possibilities to a simple solution
are like a sun rise; your options are infinite. However, there comes a catch;
only you have the ability to make a change, no one else can make it for you.
Speak up, it's not a crime! By asking for help, you aren't being weak, you're being strong. It may sound hard to
believe, but it's true. You show the strength and will to fight for what people
know is right, and you do this is a peaceful way. This reveals justice.
Please, don't feel
the need to act tough around others to show that you aren't weak, because you
do the exact opposite. Asking for help shows you to be a stronger and better
person then your tormentors could be, they are the ones who are afraid. It is
up to you to speak up for what's right
when others cannot find the strength to do it for themselves. You don't need to
fear, because help is near. It is up to you to follow through. Do what's best
for you and the rest, because you are not alone.
