This column by Krista Ramsey is about children and how they “give us hope”. She says that she visits different schools a lot and is always happy to see different kids and interact with them.

"We always talk about our children giving us hope for tomorrow. Some give us hope for today." In my opinion, this is the best written line throughout the column. She uses shorter sentences for the most part. By using shorter sentences, columnists can keep readers focused on the main idea.  Ramsey also uses the technique of repetition to enforce an idea. “Every day I look at that pencil. Every day I am touched by how instinctively Rafiel gives.” She repeats the term ‘every day’ to show that this wasn’t just a one time thing.
