Answer: The meaning of the sentence "Freedom to hope, to excel, and to be" is that we have the freedom to dream, the freedom to try and succeed, to have no limit other than our imagination. The freedom to grow and become stronger as a person. The freedom to have hope for a better tomorrow, and to hope for things other don't get to have hope for. To be what we want to be what we never could be, is a gift, the gift of freedom allows us to do this.
I hope this helps ^_^
