Term 2 Week 2 Blog prompt - Imagine you lost your eyesight. Write a journal entry on your experience. ( For LA Assesment ) @ 9:10 PM
Why did this tragic incident befall upon me? What had I done wrong to offend others? I sat on my bed, wondering what has costed me this incident. My life had been a joyful and one full of obstacles to overcome, but since this incident, I have been left blind and my life had since plunged into a sea of darkness. Thus, I decided to write a journal entry about why I have become this state and what were wrong in my actions.Firstly, the first sign of deteoriation started after I got a PSP for my 11th birthday. I kept on playing day and night until the doctor said I needed glasses during the Annual Schools' Health Check.I was perplexed at what the doctor said to me. I had maintained a good eyesight for years and now, my eyesight was deteoriating. I listened to what the doctor said and got a paor of glass.However, a bad habit cannot be changed so easily. I continued to play my PSP despite several warnings from my parents. I thought that it was just the fact of wearing spectacles.
However, I started to squint very badly and started to see things blurly.I started being paranoid and my parents had no choice but to bring me to the doctor to check up on my eyes. The doctor said that I had a severe short-sightedness and was going to be blind.This news devastated me. I felt as if the whole world was empty and all warmth, love and expressions were gone into thin air. My parents were also shocked by this incident. I sold my PSP and decided to go for theraphy sessions for my eyes.
I learnt that one should be more aware of the consequences of his/her actions and know the price to pay for their actions. One must not follow in the footsteps of me and must know that a game is just a game, it doesnt matter what game, but as long as you play and play, your eyes will become like me one finally day.
However, one must also know that playing games is the only factor that affects our eyesight.Almost everything we do, ranging from looking at the computer moniter, sleeping late and even studying makes our eyes tired and we then squint as our eyes' muscles are contracting. I believe that one should retain and treasure the good eyes you all have now and not spoil your eyesight. Also, nothing is wrong but we must know the limit and when to stop.Otherwise, the ending would be devastating.
