  22. Usually, a journey helps you learn something new. You can learn important life skills and lessons from journeys. Skills like how to survive in the wild. Or how to make friends at a new school. A journey doesn't have to be long and dangerous. For example, from one of my journeys, someone might learn about how to treat people kindly. - PM

  23. I think a journey is going through an experience, time, or place while exploring and learning at the same time. From the journeys of others like the Lewis and Clark Expedition I can learn new skills, history, other cultures, and how to be a better person. If I share my journeys with other people other people can learn about the things I learned and I can learn that I explored and learned, more that I thought I did.

  25. A journey is a quest. You can learn a lot of things from a journey but here is one, you can learn how to change your community by taking trips to countries that are in need for food,water,clothing and others. When you see how other countries are in need you can back to your home country and start fundraisers to help them. You can gain knowledge from each other by sharing your journeys.

  29. I strongly disagree with the results of the personality quiz. It determined that my color is blue. Blue means that I'am inspiration, and get unnoticed.It also says that I was born to be a teacher, a doctor, and a social worker, but I wanted to be a army soldier that works in the army. I think I'm green.- LEON B.

  30. I strongly agree with my personality quiz. It determined that my color was blue. this means that I am inspiring and sensitive. It also says that I was born to be a teacher, doctor, or social worker. I agree with this because I do think that I can be inspiring to some people and I admit that I am sensitive sometimes. I also agree because one day I do want to become a teacher. Jhannah r.

  33. If I like to express myself like with my clothing. I would hate to wear uniforms for school. I like to look unique and if I don't I try to look as normal as possible. I like to have brand new sneakers like that bothers me when I don't have a brand of new shoes.
    Last year I was crazy for pajama day I wore like little kids pajamas like they covered my feet but every body said I looked really cute. I remember it was purple with monkeys and it was so cute and no one was wearing it. I was happy because I like to stand out in the crowd.
    My friends think Im crazy but unique at some times but they don't really care. If some one says some thing I DONT CARE!!!=) MexIcaNA*
