University president David French announces changes in graduation requirements, Backwater State University students entering the fall semester of 2023 must take one math, computer science, and foreign language course.

“We feel that these new course requirements will allow us to turn out better–educated persons,” said David French. Recent study showed only 15 percent of students took a foreign language course and only 20 percent took a math course.

Five people killed on a forty-five passenger plane that took off from a TWA jet at Kennedy International Airport and crashed during takeoff.

Food Insecurities for families with children have reached the lowest within the last two decades in 2021. Meaning households with children have had the least amount of food sources within the last twenty years. 

This is a huge issue because we expect kids to be healthy and prepared to learn, grow, and achieve constantly throughout their childhood. Children cannot grow up correctly if they’re not getting enough food and nutrients. 

In 2021 there were more resources available for these families because of the pandemic. Now that it has “passed” 2022 will be another difficult year for families because nothing has changed. Changes were made specifically around the pandemic but there were no permanent changes.

Since there has been no changes to the system for families with children to acquire food the problem will only continue to grow. More families with children will be affected year after year. 

The article is written to bring awareness to food industries, foundations, and other communities that this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Children should not be going hungry and still be expected to achieve the same amount of expectations as a kid who is perfectly healthy.

Families should also know that there are forty four countries with food banks that served almost 40 million families in 2021. These food banks are there to support yourself and your children. Schools around the country are also working to make all school lunches free.
