"[there is] a special feeling attached to sanctuary."--Charlie McCasland, 6th grade
Violet Hirsch, a student at Oakland School for the Arts, has a special feeling attached to sanctuary. She describes the feeling as the feeling of writing. It is a way for her to express herself. It helps her to calm down. As she says, “My brainstorm story was about writing, and I chose it because writing helps me calm down and get a feel for the world around me.” In literary arts, we wrote down what sanctuary means to us, and Hirsch's was about that.
As a student in Literary Arts, Hirsch’s writing is her main form of self expression. She says that "Sometimes it just feels like everything is going wrong, and that I need to write about it.” It makes sense that writing down your troubles would help them.
And finally, writing truly has a large part in Hirsch’s self regulation. Self regulation is any activity that helps you to regulate your emotions. In an interview, she said to the question of whether anything compares to the sanctuary of writing, “I mean, not really. [Writing is] what I do to express my feelings.”
Writing is something that this world needs today. As news outlets shut down, or are corrupted by misinformation, it's people who love writing that will help us recover.
