A Christmas Miracle For Many Hungry Families

How a Cleveland Browns' win will feed hungry families in Northeast Ohio

A Christmas Miracle For Many Hungry Families
Samantha Caruso-Taylor

On Christmas Eve at 12 pm the Cleveland Browns played the San Diego Chargers at First Energy Stadium. After a missed and blocked field goal by the Chargers the final score was 20-17, a Browns victory that resulted in the cancellation of the “perfect season parade” in honor of our winless season. A win that left the Cleveland Browns 1-14 a week before their final game of the season. Many have counted this as a Christmas miracle that many Clevelanders didn’t ask for, but some will see it as a Christmas miracle. Although Cleveland will not see another parade, many families throughout Northeast Ohio will see food on their tables, as the money that was raised for the parade will go to the Cleveland Food bank. Because of a radio host Clevelanders were able to raise over $9,000 for a parade that is now cancelled, now instead the money will go towards an even better cause; the hunger of many Clevelanders. This could indeed be a Cleveland miracle for many families across Northeast Ohio who will be given food to feed their children this holiday season. So, Cleveland may not be having a parade after the 1st of the year, but many more stomachs will be filled because of the donation to the Cleveland food bank. Cleveland’s win on Christmas Eve was indeed a win for more than just the football team; it was a win for hungry families across Northeast Ohio. A huge thank you is due to all that donated to the cause, for it is because of your donations that families will not go hungry this coming year. It took one win by the Cleveland Browns to give food to those that long for food this holiday season. So a huge thank you goes to the Cleveland Browns for not only giving Cleveland a win, but for giving many more families throughout Northeast Ohio food this holiday season.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
