“Our belief is in the power of 
hope.” 
Walt Menninger (1999)
Hope is an emotion characterized by 
positive feelings about the immediate or 
long-term future and often coupled with 
high motivation, optimism, and a generally 
elevated mood.
When 
people feel hopeful, they tend to experience fewer 
mental health problems. Conversely, people experiencing 
despair are more likely to have depression, anxiety, panic 
attacks, and other problems
Difference Between 
Wishing 
& 
"Wishing is the fantasy that everything is going to 
turn out OK. Hoping is actually showing up for the 
hard work." 
Hope is a suitable desire that is attainable in the 
future, and therefore because of its possibility is 
based on reality.

Lopez's research suggests that hopeful 
students see the future as better than 
the present and believe they have the 
power to create an improved future. 
Lopez defines hope as the ideas and 
energy one has for the future; one of 
the most important predictors of 
success for youth.

‘’I used to think hope was just a warm 
vague feeling. 
It was that sense of excitement that I 
got before Christmas when I was a 
child. 
It lingered awhile and then 
disappear…..!!! ‘’
