Chronological/Sequential: Childhood Hunger Story of Deron sw26303 https://padlet.com/sw26303/20ghdcy5fbj3sqzo/wish/1189758581 My name is Deron my dad passed away soon after I was born. My mom used to take care of me but not anymore. My aunt Jessie has been taking care of me and my sister Miley for 5 years. She's a hard worker but she doesn't get that much money. During school I get free breakfast and free lunch, in the summer it is hard to get 2 meals a day. The Committee center gives us a lot of food. If we didn't get food from the Committee center we wouldn't have enough. Life is expensive and we didn't have any options, I needed to support my family in any way i could to get groceries on the table says aunt Jessie. We went to the food bank for 6 months even though aunt Jessie was working and we weren't embarrassed because we needed help. I just don't think about the past anymore. I look forward to the future where I get a job and an education. What i've learned is that i'm strong enough to keep going.]]> 2021-02-10 21:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sw26303/20ghdcy5fbj3sqzo/wish/1189758581 C.
