How students feel | Apr 20th 2009

     Destiny Smith

Have you ever wondered how many students in your graduating class have or are currently going hungry? You would be surprised. They don’t have to wear cheap, grimy clothes to be hungry. They can wear everyday clothing and fit in completely with the crowd. However, when they go home they don’t eat dinner. In elementary school I was one of those students that missed a complete meal once or twice a day, and no one would have guessed. That was close to seven years ago. I now try to make a difference in the lives of others. I create posters and other advertisements to try and acknowledge fellow students and teachers, hoping they will spread what they’ve learned. I plan to begin volunteering in a soup kitchen and I donate my clothes to homeless shelters. I am a sophomore in a chesterfield high school and by these few things I make a difference.
