The Wandren Code
The Wandren Code is the ideals which Lulu, Birdie, and Henry strive toward. They show the way.
Write them down. Keep them close.
- **I Will Be Brave and Courageous**
- **I Will Strengthen My Mind and Will**
- **I Will Strengthen My Body**
- **I Will Set Goals For Myself and Work to Achieve Them**
- **I Will Help My Family**
- **I Will Be Humble**
These are not perfect. You may think of ways to improve them for yourself. Write your own ideas down too.
## I Will Be Brave and Courageous
To be brave is not to be fearless. Everyone experiences fear. You might be afraid of spiders. You might be afraid of the high dive. It's okay to be afraid. To be brave you must be afraid. If you are not afraid of the high dive, it's not brave to jump off it. But when you are afraid and you jump off it anyway, you are brave. You have courage to do that which you are afraid to do.
The goal of being brave and courageous is to make sure that your fears -- remember, we all have them -- are not stopping you from living, from doing what you want to do.
## I Will Strengthen My Mind and Will
Your mind is like a muscle you need to use it. Pay attention, watch the world around you, ask questions. Even if you can't find the answers, hold on to the questions. They will make you think. They will make your mind strong. Write them down. Keep a journal of what's on your mind if you want. Write down your thoughts as you work out the answers to your questions. Ask your parents some of your questions. But maybe not all. Keep some just to think about yourself. If there are no adults in your life to answer them, that's okay, there are books. Head to the library if you need to, ask questions there.
Your will is a part of your mind that you need to especially careful with. It is your ability to do what you want. To see things that are not yet there and make them happen. It is what gets you out of bed in the morning to face the day. It is what tk. It is easily influeneced by others. Sometimes this is okay, but you have to be careful. You do not want to give anyone control of your will. You can strengthen your will be excercising it. Here are some ideas.
## I Will Strengthen My Body
You do not have to be strong, but you should work to strengthen your body. Your body is a gift. It is the vessel you sail through this world. Take care of it. Maintain it. Strength it and it will not let you down when the winds rise and the seas toss you around. Remember the final rule too though. I will be humble. You are not strengthening your body to be stronger than others, or to prove anything to anyone but yourself. Strengthen you body and your mind will also get strong.
## I Will Set Goals For Myself and Work to Achieve Them
## I Will Help My Family
## I Will Be Humble
