so they wouldn ’ t have to feel the way I do now. ” (p.33) Student Congress can inspire others to make a
difference in this world and give hope to those in need in our community.
I can contribute to Student Congress by being a leader and an upstander. I will help advocate for others
who are less fortunate than me. By increasing awareness and educating others about the hardships of people
like Rex, Student Congress can help those who are struggling with hunger, food insecurity, homelessness, and
child abuse. We can give other children hope for a better tomorrow. In conclusion, the book Free Lunch has
many lessons that Student Congress can incorporate into its volunteering efforts in the community.
Fire Rains Over the Land of Sto- ries

Israel and Hamas, a crazy storm, Echoes of fighting, but just a swarm. Skies are crying, tears mixing with the thunderous sound. A messed - up battle, turning hopes upside down. Kids can ’ t even laugh, lost in the war ’ s heat, A sad story playing out on every street. The people are watching, seeing the dilemma unfold, Nations tangled up in a war, dark and cold.
In all this craziness, people still wish, Hoping for quiet, and peace to relish.
