I have been having trouble seeing the blackboard. |
Everything is blurry. |
I keep getting headaches. |
I told my mother about it, |
and she made an appointment with the optometrist. |
I went to a place where they made me read words and letters on a chart. |
Some of the words were big, |
and some were very small. |
I tried to read everything, |
but sometimes I couldn’t see some of the small letters. |
The optometrist would cover one of my eyes while I read the chart. |
Then, she would cover my other eye. |
She even put some drops in my eyes. |
I asked the optometrist if I had passed or failed the test. |
She laughed, and said it wasn’t that kind of test that you passed or failed. |
She was just trying to find out if I needed glasses. |
I did need glasses. |
My mother and I looked around. |
There were many pairs of frames. |
I wanted something that was in style. |
I tried on many pairs of frames. |
Some of them looked good on me, and some of them looked really funny on me. |
I finally chose a frame that was my favorite. |
I gave them to a lady who did some measurements. |
She told me to come back on Friday to get my glasses. |
On Friday, I got my glasses. |
My friends liked them. |
They said I looked smart in my glasses. |
I wore them to school on Monday, |
and I was able to see the blackboard clearly. |
I didn’t realize how much I hadn’t been able to see. |
Now I don’t get headaches anymore. |
I’m glad that I have my glasses. |
Everything is a lot clearer now. |
