Navy blue

never pinpoint where it was. It was not until last week that I would have the opportunity to enter the Museum for $1. Going to the Whitney Museum last week, has sparked an interest in going to Museums and I am glad that I went. After spending half and hour being lost, I finally arrived at around 7 o’clock p.m. on a Friday. The sky was painted a dark navy blue and I could not make out much figures. I was shocked by how long the line was. It was the size of a New York City subway…

My right foot questionably steps onto the navy blue designed carpeted room and a rush of cool presses up against my skin. This room... this room could be the beginning of my future. That makes it terrifying, but exhilarating all at the same time. I force my trembling body to push through the nerves and my body straightens with confidence like a warrior entering his battleground.

The sky is a Carolina blue. The clouds look like wisps that have been painted with a paintbrush. The temperature is 68 degrees. The sun is partially blocked by the clouds but is slowly starting to show its full self. The pond ripples as a little kid skips a rock into it. The kid is wearing a Duke blue shirt and navy blue jeans. The water is a dirt brown and camo green color. The dirt swirls under the water like a tornado. There are long lime green plants coming out of the water on the right…

Then around the end of February, I come home from school one day and my parents are like come on we are going to eat and get a surprise for you. The whole drive out to Kansas City, Kansas I kept wondering what the surprise could be. So after we had gotten done eating, we drive about another ten minutes to Dick’s Sporting Goods.
