I was also in grade 3 before we realized I needed glasses. I had changed schools mid-year, and my old school had me sitting front and center because I learned quickly, but the new one had me seated in the back in the corner because my last name starts with W. I also didn't realize what was wrong, but it turned out I was only nearsighted in one eye. I'm grateful my parents were paying enough attention and had the resources to recognize that it wasn't just a problem adjusting to the new school that was making me struggle in class, but that there was actually something physically making it harder for me to succeed. Walking out with my glasses on, I immediately panicked about the fact that the clouds were bumpy, so it had probably been a problem much longer than we'd realized!
