Well these past few days have been extremely difficult for me. I'm used to eating on average enough to feed each BHC member twice during our high holiday dinners so this has been loads of fun. I roughly enjoyed my bologna sandwich at lunch and my plain potato chips. I have not been able to give up coffee or cookies so there went about $9.00. To be fair I wake up at 5:30 a.m and then enjoy a very long school day along with several tests today including chemistry and history! Now to say this has been easy is like saying it's easy to get Rabbi Sachs-Cohen to make you a bacon cheeseburger on Friday night. I've been overly tired and have been losing focus to school and often times when attempting to solve the tangent of a triangle I find myself thinking of my empty stomach. What I have done so far is learn exactly what it means to be hungry. You see I'm one of those people that eats just because they're bored, and to think that other kids my age and younger don't have that luxury is sad. Though it's been a tough couple of days I can't imagine living like this everyday for what probably seems like an endless period of time. When I sit her and I imagine the dinner I'm going to eat I also take a moment and think about those who are less fortunate then I am, who are doing this because it is their life. It makes me stop and decide next can food drive maybe I'll bring in another bag, just so someone doesn't have to feel that hunger in their stomach.
