A1. #BuildHOPEedu You can be a pillar of HOPE for others by being the change you want to see. Share how having HOPE for the future helps you set goals, and share your story and how you overcame challenges to become who you are today.

Thank you @nowakro.bsky.social for hosting #BuildHOPEedu to talk about HOPE and the power of words.

A4. #BuildHOPEedu OUr kids are digital natives. They use tech. They know it. Let them use it to discover what they hope for their future. Empower them to write and share what they feel, their lived experiences, and what the future holds for them

A4. #BuildHOPEedu The best way to build hope in writing is to model it. Share it. Ask your students to share what hope do they have. Have them write it, share it, and tell it.
