How Come I Have to Wear Eyeglasses Also?

Welcome!

As a little child in primary school, a pair of glasses was just so attractive to me that I even had it in my mind that one who was wearing glasses must be knowledgeable about a particular subject. I thought wearing glasses was so elegant and graceful that I desperately appreciated people who had a pair of glasses. And it’s also the same with some of my little companion. Once got together, with a tube of glue, some paper and plastic materials, we would make pairs of “glasses”. Every time I went to my grandparents’ home with my parents, what I most like to do was wearing my grandfather’s old-fashioned glasses .But the glasses made me feel sick and I wanted a pair of glasses that were suitable for me.

What could I do to have my own glasses? Maybe the best way was to make myself short-sighted. However, both my parents have pretty good sight. Probably because of the advantage of genes, I also had good sight. To achieve my “dream”, I began to follow some bad habits to make myself short-sighted, such as reading in a dim room, studying or watching TV for a long time without a break…

Although someone had told me again and again about how uncomfortable it was wearing glasses, I just ignored it and went ahead with my plan .I kept it secret from my parents and my parents didn’t care much about my mad actions as they had never though that I would get short-sighted.

“No pains, no gains”. Finally, during the first year that I attended junior high school, I found it’s hard for me to see the words on the blackboard clearly. I came to realize the consequence of being short-sighted. And of course, I owned my first pair of glasses .From then on , I have changed several pairs of eyeglasses .

When we look back to our childhood, we may find things that seem so foolish and unbelievable to others, especially adults. But I think everything was possible when we were little children and we just made mistakes that were “suitable” for us to make. Maybe it’s the cost of growing up.
