  • Last March, we were introduced to Denis Estimon, a high school student in Boca Raton, Florida, who knew all too well the isolation kids face during lunch period when they find themselves eating alone. So he started a club called We Dine Together, dedicated to making sure no student is starved for company. Steve Hartman catches up with Estimon and his mission.

    I remember many times sitting in the cafeteria, gym, or classroom by myself because I was too shy to approach people. I believe this is a great idea and all schools should implement a program like this. This could also help with the bullying issue and dismantling some cliques.

    My high school had about 1.5k students and I started to eat alone in my senior year as my I rarely saw my friends and I actually enjoyed it since I could reflect on my life as I was approaching the beginning to adulthood. It's all really about perspective but nevertheless kudos to this man.

    Great story about this project which seems to suggest that it's not OK to leave anyone behind. That's a value that should never become outdated or irrelevant. (9/1/2021). Thanks to all the students who chose to care. Thanks to Steve Hartman for all these stories.

    Now more than any other time frame, this unifying outreach is more important. Difficult as this lonely lost feeling was (is) to experience, it has become more prevalent. We're more divided, even amongst adults. Children aged,nor adults need to care enough to come together, end division.

    I hate the lunch the most because I have sat alone for 2 and a half years. Nobody ever sat with me and I just couldn't handle sitting in the cafeteria anymore seeing all these people sitting with their friends and having fun. I have been sitting behind a flight of stairs just watching stuff on my phone for all that time. Still do it and it hurts.
