[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just watched Walz speech at the DNC.

IMO, he epitomizes the All American guy -- military service, teacher, coach (multiple teams that he lead to championships), grew up on a farm, child of teachers; unassuming, yet ready to lend a helping hand.

I have zero in common with him. I'm a child of immigrants, non white, grew up in a city in CA, female, love spicy foods.  I could not be more different from him, but little me sees him as a hero.

When I found out that he had called around the school district to pick up extra jobs to pay for kids lunches, I was so touched. I often went hungry at school when I was in ES (I now make six figures and have a HHI NW of $4mil+).

Being a coach, he knows how to energize people, motivate them to be and do their best.   He is what the US and the world needs right now - a man of compassion, and true leadership.[/quote]

This choked me up.  I’m going to pay some kids’ lunch balances this year. Thank you for the idea. [/quote]

I have two children in school.  I keep their lunch balanced up-to-date throughout the year.  Every year at the end of the school year, I call the company that administers our lunch program and have them transfer the balance of our two accounts (down to $5 which keeps the accounts throughout the summer) to help pay off accounts that are in arrears (e.g. accounts that have negative balances).  At the start of the school year, I top the accounts off again.  I'm not positive, but I think a few years ago, the cordinator told me that they usually start with accounts have have had a negative balance for the longest time, but it's been a few years, and our school changed lunch account vendors, so not sure whether this is or ever was true or if it was wishful thinking on my part.[/quote]
