PSA: Grew up pretty poor. One of those people that just got lucky and was never seriously injured since I didn't have health insurance until I went to university. Again, I was one of those people that always struggled to read for extended periods of time. It never occurred to me that I might need glasses and I didn't have a single eye exam as a kid. Fast forward to one of my last semesters. I finally go in for an eye exam and sure enough, I needed glasses. After I got the glasses, studying for long periods was effortless (at least by comparison) and needless to say, my grades improved drastically. For at least a short period, I felt what it was like to do well in at a really competitive school. I really wish that period had been longer, so please, if you're reading this and you've been putting off an eye exam, go do it today.
