"Get some high school kids...HOPEful kids, okay?"
These were wonderful assignments--profiles of high school seniors who had written about hope. Jasmina, a local high school senior plans to become a neurologist. Her family is from the former Yugoslavia, and has seen some trials, but just being around her was a bouyant, hopeful experience.
"Life is truly a ride. We're all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind, he's ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang onto that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair is messed, you're out of breath, and you didn't throw up."
