19- My Own Pair of Medicine

What was it like to get glasses or braces?

                Those that know me also know that I wear glasses. In truth, the first time I wore them I was in first year high school. At first I was excited in getting them. But then, as time wore on, I realized how tedious it was to have them.

                When I got it, I wore my glasses the whole of the first week. But then, it started feeling weird and the comments of how new I look with it was getting to me. and so, I begun wearing it only during the time of my reading in class, where I had to see the black board. But then my mom would scold me saying I had to wear them all the time since it could right my eye sight. There would be times I would forget it at home and just lay it anywhere, not caring at all. I still read books without it. At one point, it became lost.

                Then one day, my head started aching so bad. The pain was just behind the ear. When it he pain got unbearable, I called mom and told her of my predicament. She scolded me and told me that it was because of my eyes. Since I read without their protection, my eye sight became worst.

                We went back to the eye center and had my eyes checked again for new glasses. I found out my eye grade became 100 each, a lot higher compared to my 72 before. I learned my lesson then. I had to wear my glasses to avoid a big headache.
