About

Hello!

I am a first year student at Rutgers University New Brunswick. I am writing this blog for my Creative Writing class this semester. I decided to dedicate my blog to free & reduced school lunches and the stigma surrounding food in a school setting; something I have a very peronsal connection to. Growing up I didn’t have money. Being raised by a single father, who was faced with a lot of adversity, was difficult for me as a child. Food was something I was always conscious of. Particularly in the school setting. Through the sharing of my experiences, I hope to englighten readers to the emotions that come along with food and poverty in the school setting.

Thank you and enjoy!
