My name is Thomas Jeffrey LaDuca but I have gone by TJ my whole life. I’m 20 years old and I am a junior here at Fordham College Rose Hill. I am studying anthropology and German and I do not have any idea what I want to do with my degree after I graduate. I have never been the best at writing in detail, especially about myself. I do know that I do like helping others and am not too great at writing a lot about myself.
In the fall of 2018, I took an anthropology class that talked about the impact food has had in different societies throughout history. I am a man of simple pleasures and food is one of them. Learning about how one of my favorite things has changed the course of human history piqued my interest in the discipline. I hope this class helps me to better understand how food molds peoples and culture and gives me a higher appreciation for the food I might take for granted.
