I want to start with a question. What does hope mean to you. In Brazil, when your favorite football team is down 02, there's a saying, hope dies last.Maybe for you, hope means believing in something bigger than yourself. Maybe it means not giving up when things get hard. For me, it's always been something different.It's been a bridge between the struggles of today and the strength passed down from those before us.

Hello everyone. How you after yourself? How can I live with hope for the future? If you find it, if you find it hard to find hope, I have something to share with you through this speech.
