So let's see..put on some new glasses today. Yeah and then all of the sudden BAM! everything has shrank about two feet and everything has become clearer.
Then I take it off and all of the sudden the world becomes blurry,unclear and to some extent foreign. It was like another different world. Then I realized a miracle. Life is just like putting on some new glasses, first lets understand why I say this.
When in middle school back in Michigan I was a horrible student, I skipped class, I forgot to pay my lunch money, I forgot to bring back a book and then lost it, I made B's and C's I was failing my pre-algebra class. Then we moved to South Carolina, and everything changed. I came here for half of the 6th grade and I thought my grades didn't matter that grades don't tell who I am. Damn, was I wrong. 7th grade was a revelation of knowledge and I understood that only my grades could tell what kind of student I was.It was like "putting on glasses" and seeing a new world. 8th grade was the revelation of hard work again another "put on your glasses moment" and BAM another world. If we never moved to South Carolina to start with a new slate, I definitely wouldn't be the student or person I am today.
I was lost in a fog, a world full of uncertainty and fear. Until I changed my perspective and I found that the world was crystal clear and I know where I want to go. Adopted a new mode of thinking.
I've put on glasses and I can see so clearly now.

"I've put on glasses and I can see so clearly now." Aw, whatta cute line!
That's what my mom said when we got glasses. She was all :D and got all excited when driving. She said, "I always feel so excited when I get new glasses cause it's like, 'I can see now!'"
But yeah, I'm glad that moving worked out for you :) Moving to the US completely changed my life in a new perspective, too. Change really is one of the best things in life.
AH I LOVE THAT QUOTE. I want to say it's Maya Angelou but I'm not 100% sure. [I used it in an oratory last year]
Cool post, Cyrus. Glad things are working out and stuff. This sort of reminded me of an oratory. ;]
