It was the start of my third grade school year, when I told the teacher that I couldn’t see the board from where I was sitting. She moved me to the front of the class, a mere few feet from the board she was writing on and I remember crying because I still couldn’t see. I didn’t understand what was going on at the time. I had never experienced this before. We were just back from a fun summer break and nothing odd had happened. Or so I thought. My eye sight had decreased dramatically over the summer and from that moment forward I would wear glasses or contacts for the rest of my life.
It was also in that moment that I kicked myself for never eating more carrots like my mom had told me too. “Carrots make your eye sight better.” I hear her nagging voice to this day, yet in still, I hated carrots for most of my life.
