Improved Essays

I had on white tennis shoes, almost the color of pearls. I walk outside and it seems to be very foggy and gloomy, almost to the point that you can’t see 5 feet in front of your face. I started my car, a grey and chrome Toyota, and drove out of the garage into the foggy abyss. As I was driving I had seen an accident between two cars hitting each other at a stoplight.

I could smell the pool water and what I though was the fish tanks. I could now see all of the different people that come to this place on a daily basis. There was many different colored people and many different ages of people there. It was really weird to all of a sudden have a whole new view on the country club. I walk out on the patio that we have that is roughly 200 square feet and has a great overlook of the fairway.

    Clarence, I agree with you completely that older generations follow the motto “a hard day’s work for an honest day’s pay”.

    The idea of being told that I had to work for the first time made me want to eat glass; but could it possibly have turned out for the better?

    I remember when I was 5, the first time I went to a building daily for 8 hours. I sat down on the cold blue chair. In front of me was a bin of crayons, all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. I remember sitting in the cold room and having the freedom to draw marks on my blank sheet of paper. The dye scratching against the table, colors spreading across the canvas like the sun, rising in the early morning.…
