About Me

Our family eye doctor told my parents that I needed glasses when I was just 5 years old, and I remember picking them out! I chose a pink pair with cartoon characters on them. I loved them and thought that all children my age must need them. However, when I began kindergarten, I realized that I was the only child in class wearing eyeglasses.
