Question

“Dash” is a symbol which represents every day we’re spreading alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your “dash” is important.

     Recently I  1  about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by 2 ,nor happenstance, that she had been named “Hope”.

She also hoped that it could be done 9  January 16, 2011.Unfortunately, however, the organization told her that her 10  request couldn’t be granted as the funds were simply 11  . They calculated that they would need to raise more that one 12  dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 13 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired warm-hearted 14 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 15  as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 16  the story of this 17  young girl who had touched the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 18 money to help make Hope's dream come true.

     Her efforts were not in vain as they continued to help others, not only 19 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, “A Celebration of Hope” on January 16,2011, the 20  was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!
