Roosevelt

I first thought it was dried blood dripping down the bathroom walls. But I think it was just dried brown paint. Like Mr. Watson had talked about in class, I too noticed the difference between our campus and Roosevelt's, beginning with the bathrooms.

I didn't mean to comment on it, but it came out. I admit saying that they should have painted the walls a different color instead of the discolored patches of "broken rock" that just made the bathroom wall look older. Even the toilet paper was thin and it was only 1-ply, or I think that's what it's called. I really don't want to sound like I'm criticizing. I totally understand that there's just not the money there. I wished we could donate, without anyone knowing of course, and I think someone told me that we did before.

Everytime I walk onto the campus, I'm not sure how I should respond. Should I feel bad? Or not? Maybe it's just different.
