" It’s the hardest thing to do to wake up early on a Dark, gloomy, winter morning, and arise from my kingdom of comfort, going from complete bliss and relaxation, to my stressful morning routine. My blue cover feel like rope tying my down so I can’t get out of bed, the light blinds me again and again every morning, but for those few hours I am in my bed, it feels like heaven, the perfect personal sanctuary." (Brian H., WWL 1-1, My Personal Sanctuary)

My personal sanctuary is probably my basement. It has every thing that is fun if I just want to hang out. It has all of the instruments in the family so I can play my bass. It also has a big TV in it. Not only that, but there is a Xbox hooked up to it. It is comfortable because there is a big coach and chair to lie down on. There is also a spare room and bathroom so you don’t have to go up stairs to go to the bathroom (Nick N. WWl 1-1 My personnel sactuary)

"When I'm at the beach I always look foward to feeling the warm, smooth sand between my toes. I especially love it when a cold wave crashes over your head!." (Sarah Z. WWL 1-1, My Personal Sanctuarie)

An audacious goal for me would be something I dont normally do every day, something courageos and bold. My audacious goal for me is to learn how to scuba dive and get my scuba licecnse. I think it is very audacious because it is vey daring, risky, thrilling and scary to be close to injury but also very far away. (Hanan Z. WWL 1-4, My Audacious Goal)

 * I cannot honestly say that I have never stereotyped someone because of their looks. I think it is safe to say that everyone has done it at least once or twice. This is what makes us human. I can recall one time in 3rd grade. It was a new school year and a girl named Kelsey Scott was sitting next to me. Right away I started to judge her just by what she looked like. I knew that it was wrong but I’m human aren’t I. Once I started to have a conversation with her I could tell that she was nervous coming into a new school. Right away I could tell that we could be good friends. When I was judging her I was making predictions that were totally wrong. This just goes to show you that you need to look through their looks on the outside and see inside. Kelsey and I became great friends and I helped her around the school. I was heart broken when she had to move to Japan in 4th grade because her parents had to work there for the navy. Kelsey is currently still in Japan I hear that she made new friends and is having a good time. (tori l. WWL1-5 preconceived judgement) **

The place I feell most comfortable is my house because it has all the things I need to survive.When I walk inside I feel welcome,greatfull,and happy. (by dj117)

I feel safe and secure. No one can get to me and I like it that way. My hot desk lamp warms my desk so I turn on the fan and get hit by a gentile breeze. It feels really nice and thats the way I like it.(Danny L. WWL1-1 My Personal Sanctuary)

With the windows open there is a slight breeze flowing around me. The sun is shining and I hear birds singing from the trees outside. In my room is a very peaceful place to be. I’m away from the rest of the world with a really good book in my hand. Lying on my big fluffy bed, letting the time pass away. Knowing there is nothing I need to do, and nowhere that I need to go. This is my personal sanctuary, deep into the thoughts of my book. And then my mom calls me for dinner and its gone. (Carrollanne K. WWL 1-1 My Personal Sanctuary)

"Every time I walk into the room my shoulders are no longer tensed up and I feel very mellow and relaxed. No longer am I stressed out about something I have to do later, its just like everything stressful washes away with the ocean that is a few houses away." (Haley F. WWL 1-1 My Personal Sanctuary)

My personal sanctuary is my room. I like it because it is mine, and know one else is usually in it. My room is quiet and private. I can do homework or read in it without anyone bothering me. It is my personal space. (Sarah N. WWL 1-1 My Personal Sanctuary)

All the stuff is mine so I don’t need to worry about it. I know where my things are and my parents don’t seem to mind, so long as the floor is tidy.

(Nick K. WWL 1-! Personal Sanctuary)

It's a place where I can concentrate and get my work done with no distractions. (Anna Z. WWL 1-1 Personal Sanctuary)

**"The sun is beaming into my eyes, but before I turn to shield myself, I see a tree that has leaves different shades of purple. Finally I close my eyes and relax. I hear the rustling of leaves in trees, the sound of birds chirping and an airplane. But then I listen closer and I hear distant cars on the main road." (sami.m WWL1-1 Personal sanctuary )**

**As your eyes feel relaxed your ears start to really hear the world and you can hear the singing of the birds in the trees and the children across the lake jumping in the water and laughing, and you feel at peace. ( Jonah F. WWL1-1 personal Sanctuary) **

. I also think I applies to me personally as a seventh grader because it tells us to work as hard as we can and not to obsess. It tells us to spend time wisely and always aim for your goal.(Christian M. wwl 1-2 vonnegut reflection)
