a typical day without my sense of sight
i wake up , i can smell the fresh sent of a morning day after it rains , i can feel the softness of my cat purring and laying beside me ,and i can hear the sound of the birds chirping near my window, and as i speak to myself i realize , one thing's missing i can't see the birds chirping , i can't see the beautiful morning with wet flowers from the rain and worst of all i cant see my beautiful cat , the one i've had since i was really young . I'm sad , its been 4 years since i lost my sight i was in a accident when i lost it .

my fictional character

“Beep, beep, beep” “ugh, im up “ I say to my alarm clock , as I reach over and press the snooze button. “Hmm lets see” I say to myself , “my clothes are ready and so is my book-bag” , I have to be prepared so I can get to school right on time to show im good enough to get accepted into Harvard “ , I get lost in the idea of getting accepted into Harvard, being away from all the drama at home ...... My alarm clock goes off again which brings me back to reality . I get dressed and am in my car in less then 10 minutes. Off to school I go.
as I walk to class I spot Eric (he and I have been best friends since kindergarten ) . But instead of him being with his friends he’s with Hollie ( I have also known her since kindergarten , the only difference is , were not best friends , not even a tad bit close to that idea) I smile at Eric then into class I go . Mr. H pulls me aside to tell me that he’s glad im at my peak point , and that he’s pretty sure im going to make it into Harvard . I quickly take me seat and copy the do now .
As im on my way into my car I spot my mom , she’s drunk I can so tell
as I approach her hopping she’ll allow me to drive her home so nothing will happen I can automatically smell the beer , and liquor
. I tell her to get into the car she does , no problems .......yet. When we get home I bring up her abuse to alcohol . “well, well , well is there a problem with that?” she snaps back . “yes ! There is you don’t even remember Tommy and he’s your son , last night you thought he was a kid who broke into the apartment ma ! “ I yell back . I look at her I can see the anger and coldness in her eye’s “what ever “ she says walking away . I go to my room .
As I sit on my bed and the thought keeps coming back to me “why am I still here putting up with all this drama?” I take a pillow and cover my face , I let out a little scream . My dad is now at my door “can I come in ?” he ask’s me “sure, “ I say “hey sweetie, are you ok ?” I just shrug “well,” he says “ I just want you to know that no matter what happens , I will always belive in you but you have to belive in yourself to hun , do not let all of this stop you from for filling your dream “ . I look up at him and smile “thanks pop , I think right now you’re the only one who believes in me “ he gently kisses my forehead “good night sweetie “ he says while walking out my room.
As I walk to school the next day ( mom took my car... again ) Eric pulls me aside .” hey , haven’t talked to you an a while “ I can feel a smile cross mt face “mhmm , I have been busy “ he smiles , “we all have “ . I can see Hollie she looks pretty jealous “ I laugh silently to myself “ ( I got her jealous ) “well I go to go “ I say to him “sorry “ , he sighs “it’s fine ill talk to you later “. As I walk away I can hear Hollie say to Eric “why do you talk to that thing “ . “ugh” I say to myself while going to class .
When lunch comes I pick a spot away from every one else . When I suddenly see Eric approach me . “so you’re stalking me now “ I say with a flirtatious tone . “you sure im the one stalking “ he says back with a laugh , and a smile to die for . I motion him to sit with me . As I look around I realize this is the perfect time to talk to Eric just one on one . “so....” I say “what’s up” he looks at me “it’s weird he says but....this year I wannabe with you more “ he says , I think I am blushing but I cant tell im to busy trying to realize what to say . But before I can , he kisses me then walks away . I feel like im melting but in a good way . I smile to myself .
on my way inside the house , I realize the mails there I quickly look through it and there it is , my heart skips a beat the letter from Harvard I close the door then run to my room . As I open the letter I whisper almost a thousand times to myself saying “please say yes , please say yes “ when I open the letter fully I feel like crying I GOT ACCEPTED , I jump up and down with joy , and im pretty sure I screamed the I got accepted part cause 5 minutes later my dad runs in my room with the biggest smile on his face. “ that’s my girl “ he says which follows with a hug. I can feel the tears of jot stream down my face . “ha” to every one he said I wouldn’t be able to .
