Free Food Pack on a Monday
Hola! It's been awhile since the last time I've written an article here. I've been very busy these past few days because of work, side hustles, and travels.
Anyway, yesterday my father picked up my youngest sister's medal from her school. She finished grade three with honors and I'm amazed that my former school, where my youngest sister is currently enrolled, is giving medals to students who has awards.
During my time, only the star section or class 1 has the right to receive such awards. Those who belong to the star section has the highest grades. The top students in other sections only received certificates or ribbons made by teachers but not medals like this. The grades of the top students in other sections are still far from the grades of those who belong to the star section. I always find it unfair, even if I belong to the star section all through out my life as a student. If you belong to section 2 from the start, you'll be defined by your section already and has no chance to be transferred to the star section, even if you excel in your class.
Now, there are no rankings anymore. There's no section 1 or lower sections. All are equal. You mind your own business. You excel on your own. I'm glad this has been developed over the years even if we hadn't experience it. That's why my sister was able to get her own medal. The award system nowadays is better than before. The only person they should beat is their former selves.
Moving on, aside from the medal, my father also brought home the food pack from the city government. Every year, the city government distributes food packs to all students from preschool to senior high school. Thanks to all the taxpayers in our city!
These are the things included in the food pack:
2 Bread Pans
1 pack of Choco Bomb
1 pack of Breadsticks
5 packs of Quaker Oats
2 pcs of Koko Krunch
2 pcs of Choco Flakes
12 pcs of Milo
1 bar of Cheezee cheese
1 pack of Birch Tree
2 boxes of Instant Champorado
1 box of Instant Arroz Caldo
1 pack of SkyFlakes
1 box of Hotcake Mix
2 mini boxes of raisins
1 pack of jelly ace
It feels like I'm the one who's excited to receive this. This food pack distribution aims to suffice the hunger of students. It was given at the end of the school year as a reward to all the students in our city for finishing another school year. Aside from this, the students were also given uniforms, black shoes, rubber shoes, P.E. uniform, and all the school supplies they need for the school year. These things are all provided by the city government so kids can learn for free.
How about in your area, do you also have food packs distributed by your city government?

How I wish we have the same too. I wonder why we don't have such a distribution of food packs wherein here in our town many children suffer from malnutrition. Where are you particularly in the Philippines?
