Here's my contribution to FF55, hosted by the cheeky Mr G-Man.
After years of getting out of her seat to read the blackboard
and being stuck in remedial reading, she finally rose toward the top of the class.
Mummy the world looks so different.
How so sweetheart?
See that tree over there?
Before it looked like one big leaf.
Now I can see ALL the leaves.
I've worn glasses and later on contact lenses since I was about eight. I had trouble with my school work when I first started school. I didn't realise I couldn't see properly, I thought what I saw was normal. You'd think the teachers would notice I always plonked myself down at the front of the class and I'd still have to get our of my seat to read the board on a regular basis.
One day, we had our eyes tested at school. The optometrist asked me to read down the eye chart as far as I could and was shocked when I could barely see the first letter. He couldn't believe I'd managed so long without seeing properly. I must have had bad eyesight for a long time because I didn't realise how bad my vision was until it was corrected. The world suddenly was defined and didn't have blurry edges.
Have a great day all
