Eyeglasses

When I was in elementary school, I also went to Chinese school.  I actually did pretty well.  Sadly, my vision went bad.  I could no longer see the chalkboard.  Due to my low self esteem, I felt flawed and was too embarrassed to tell my parents or ask for help.  In a move that still boggles my mind today, I ditched classes.  My parents found out later and just assumed I wasn't interested.  If I could turn back time, I would have come clean about why I was ditching class.  Not to blame, but if I were my parents, I would have investigated deeper why I dropped out.  It's a bit blurry, but I think I just said I didn't want to and they just let it go.  When I was younger, communication wasn't as strong as it is now.  But everyone would have benefited if I had just confessed about needing eyeglasses.
