School meals have become a bit of cliché with regard to poor nutrition. Countless movies and television shows poke fun at the abundance of unidentifiable foods and lack of nutrition that can show up on cafeteria trays across the nation. While school meals have changed significantly in the past few decades, they still have a long way to go before they can truly be considered nutritious and healthy meals. According to McGuire, our school meals are still too narrow and contain more sodium and fat…

Me, Myself, and I I have always been confused about my self-identity since I was a little kid. When teachers asks each student, “What’s unique about you?” or “How would you describe yourself?” I would come up with something ridiculous after spending 10 minutes searching for the answer in my head. As a child, I did not know how to express myself in words; I would just depend on my feelings and sensations to be expressed through body language and face expressions. However, I noticed that my…
for him. He had to begin at a new school and speak English to the teacher and the classmates. I think it had to be difficult to not know how to spike their languish and still manage to live a normal life in England. He also needed to live in other surroundings than usual.

For instance, a young gentlemen who want a career in music would not lean towards music he would feel as if he was not talented enough and did not have the creativity to become a musician because of how the diversity of education was back in the 1900’s. I believe that those people who are…
