With all the confined spacing for the families, you can tell there was a lot of tension between everyone. The food they had made for us to eat was not in our culture at all. “The Caucasian servers were thinking that the fruit poured over rice would make a good desert. Among the Japanese, of course, rice is never eaten with sweet foods, only with salty or savory foods.” (pg.20) On top of the food being served wrong, their latrines were not very useable. “The smell of it spoiled what little appetite we had.” (pg.31) “My mother was a very modest person, and this was going to be agony for her, sitting down in public, among strangers.” (pg.32). What some of the other women did was drag in a big cardboard carton and put up as walls so no one could see.…

For my service this year, I was involved with Applecross Opal Nursing Home. Opal age care was a great help to me in opening my eyes to the desperate need for an extra pair of hands and the importance of nursing homes. Not only to the individual admitted in, but also to their families and friends. As I would arrive at 12.00 every time, I would go straight into lending a hand with lunch. Handing out the meals, packing away, cleaning up and keeping an eye on a few of the residents was my first job done. Then I would wonder through the compound talking to the residents, playing and colouring in with them and I would gather and assist them to and from their rooms. With all these jobs, you had to keep a look out for and take extra care with some of the more dependant residents.…

Growing up in twenty-first century America I have always eaten the way I'm “supposed” to; I never gave it a second thought. My culture has almost given me tunnel vision, letting me focus only on what I know as acceptable or natural. This topic opens my mind to what else I might be blinded to. I have never explored what other cultures grow accustomed to like religion, style, relationships, family dynamics or even school. I have always considered myself incredibly fortunate for the life I live, and therefore I never examined the varying cultural aspects of differing nations or people groups. As far as the message of society erasing the intimacy of our meals to ourselves, I can absolutely sympathize with the author’s thoughts. In retrospect, the singular thing that could most certainly bring my family together was the warm meal that awaited us. The physicality of sharing a meal together provided each of us the opportunities to engage, with every member of my family, our singular…
It has been many weeks, but we finally heard the ship’s captain scream that he saw land ahead. Everyone on the ship was screaming with excitement. All of us start packing all of our belongings. Now, we had packed everything we came with. We said our goodbyes to the people we had become friends with. Then, the moment came and we stepped out…

With many small town families stretching their resources comes the clean your plate mentality. Food costs money that is commonly scarce in small communities, and people simply do not want to see their resources go to waste. Children are often instructed to clean their plate when sitting down for a meal, even if they may already be full. The risks this may have to the health and well-being of these children are often not considered. This lack of…

To begin with, the people that prepared the meals were Sanitaries they try to spread the meals out equally but, they won't guarantee a tasty meal. To continue, back then in World War Two it was way different than now because now a days because you can just order pizza anytime you want, and in World War Two times, you had to start from scratch or cook it to make something. Moreover, at the start of the war a member of the sanitary became concerned with the reports of poor food quality and preparation. Food, is a lot easier to make and get then it was back then.…
The 4 weeks being when I decided to take their Counselor in Training program. This program let me grow as a leader and human being as I trudged through 4 weeks of hiking, team building, lifeguard training, and in-cabin experiences with campers. Along-side the other CIT’s and with the help of my amazing counselors, or as we called them, “Mom” and “Dad”, I became comfortable with my ability as a counselor and comfortable with myself in general. Getting past the rigorous life-guard training, finishing a 20 mile (well, 25 mile since my counselors got us just a little bit lost), and being able to handle a cabin full of hyper-active 8 year olds, proved to me that I can do most things if I really put my heart into it. I ended the program with an evaluation my mom would be proud to stick on the fridge, and later was one of the 4 CIT girls (out of 12) to be invited back as a…
