LITTLETON CHEVROLET BLOG SPOTLIGHT – One students reaction to the Sweethearts and Heroes Presentation…A Poem – HOPES AND DREAMS

On Monday, November 10th, Littleton Chevrolet sponsored another round of Sweethearts and Heroes. This time it was at the Danville School. Sweethearts and Heroes focus is on students and teachers to discuss and converse about Hope, Bullying, Suicide and Leadership. This is a powerful session that leaves each student and teacher walking away with a different perspective. This week the Principal shared with us a poem that one of her 8th graders wrote as he felt inspired to put pen to paper. Below is his poem. We wanted to share with the world.

Let me ask you a few questions,
Do you have hope in your life?
Do you have dreams?
Because you need to have hope in your life if you want to live,
Because if you don’t you will get sick of your life,
And we might just take that knife,
And end everything because you don’t think you have any more
Possibilities in your life,
But once I had someone come to my school and teach me the
True Meaning of Hope,
He told us it means, “Hold On Possibilities Exist”,
And you have to hold on to the possibilities in your life,
Because many of them exist and they are your dreams,
And while giving up on hope is giving up your dreams,
You know, I never understand why we don’t go back to our
Dreams After we have given up on them,
And why we give up our lives,
And we do it for only a dime,
Even though our lives are worth so much more than that,
We can’t put a price on the gift of life that God has given us,
And God says if you ever feel hopeless, remember him and the
Sacrifices that he made,
Because God sacrificed his son because he loved us so much,
And he doesn’t want you to live under depression,
The person who came to my school also shared something else,
It was an experiment that was made in the 1950s,
The scientist behind it took a handful of mice and tossed them in
A Bucket of water,
And they all drowned within 15 minutes because they had no
Hope That they would make it,
Then he took a second handful and tossed them into the bucket,
But then when they were starting to drown he dove his hands into
The bucket and let them rest just for a little bit,
And when he put the mice back into the bucket,
They were swimming for days because they had hope,
They had a dream that the hand would come back in to save
Them,
All that being said, This poem can’t make you do anything or
Change you,
But if it did,
Go give someone hope
