Here’s a story for you
Title: Finding a Vision
Epigraph: “Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.” —Helen Keller
Passage:
Six years ago, I went blind. Due to a severe herpes simplex virus in my eyes, I lost one of my most precious possessions: my eyesight. Tiny cold sores covered the surface of my eyes, scarring my cornea. I wasn’t allowed to stand in direct sunlight or even in a brightly lit room. The light would penetrate my eyelids and cause too much pain. At the age of seventeen, I was unprepared to find myself in a dark world. Who would I be without my ability to see?
All I wanted throughout the entire summer was to be able to see people. What new cute bathing suit styles was everyone wearing? Who had cut their hair or dyed it purple? I would have a conversation with someone and realize that I had no idea what facial expressions he was making. I no longer had the ability to make eye contact, a privilege I had taken for granted before. I longed to talk with my eyes. I just wasn’t whole without my vision.
My parents became my sole support system. Hoping for a miracle, they took me to an eye specialist every day. No one was sure if I would ever completely recover, and if so, how long the healing process would take. Meanwhile, Mom and Dad adjusted their own lives in order to keep my spirits up. They would take me to baseball games and out to dinner—anything to get me out of the house. However, going places was difficult. I had to wear eye patches and dark sunglasses to ease the pain of bright light. As a seventeen-year-old, this wasn’t exactly the fashion statement I was trying to make.

Dad got his haircut today, and I was going to do the same thing as well because my hair has already gotten so long now. But nah, I wasn’t quite ready yet. Not yet. Maybe next time. (I have always loved my long hair, you know.)

This—is not the greatest way to start my summer. Most definitely not.

So…Summer is finally here, and I am guessing that the first 2 weeks of my summer will consist of studying and studying and studying for the upcoming ACT Test this June.
After that…
…I don’t know.
Alright, bye.

This is me when I’m hungry. So hungry. What do I do? I go to a buffet and…all is well with the world.
↳ See what I mean?
↳ My ever favorite, lasagna.
↳ And yes, I love Hawaiian pizza. Therefore, I love pineapples on my pizza.
↳ It’s not complete without fries.
↳ Pumpkin cake
↳ The dessert: my personalized ice cream and a pumpkin cake.
I am proud to say: I love food.
