Polk Museum

The trip to the Polk museum was very interesting to me. I remember when I was in elementary school and taking trips to the museum, however back then I didn't really understand art, I didn't understand some of the things these poets wrote about, I didn't quiet understand the paintings that was considered art, but I felt like I could probably do that with my eye closed. What was really interesting to me on this trip was the fact that, until this trip I completely forgot if we even had a museum of art in Polk County.
My favorite part of the trip were the displays in the second floor display room. the photographs of people of these different regions of the world, it was very interesting to see how some of the richer and poorer peoples in the world live. On one of the photographs, this families wish was to get a second pair of close to wear, this touch me a lot because I feel sometimes I take my life for granted, for I sometimes have a hard time of finding close to wear but it's not because I don't have anything else, it's usually because I have so much close in the closet so it's hard to pick out one, so to see that a family is struggling to get another set of close to wear was very touching. I also saw a photographs of this family in Haiti struggling to eat a meal and they basically eat the same thing everyday and many times they skip meals. I'm originally from Haiti, so Haiti as nation in general I'm very passionate about, I have plans of hopefully one day starting some kind of mission work there, so seeing that photograph was more of a motivator to me, so I can continue to find ways to help people over there and to start taking steps to becoming a missionary.
