I remember my first day of kindergarten, I became timorous at the thought of being in a classroom filled with random children I didn’t know, much less couldn’t see. I eventually got to know my peers, and ended up becoming close companions with them.
As the months in school progressed, adapting to different concepts, and learning techniques that my teachers would use made my school life even more challenging. I hated the white board, or any board that was excessively far from few. Learning how to read was probably my most challenging obstacle, I could barely see the book, let alone read the words. It was my first year of school and I was already giving up. I would often compare myself to other students, admire their ability to read, The Cat in the Hat. I honestly thought I wasn’t capable of ever reading. Eventually the school found out there was something wrong with my vision, so they informed my mom. If it couldn’t get any worse, it did, not only was I considered the worst in my class but I was also known as “four eyes”. ” You are free to add or do what you think is necassary for this mini essay.
