Assignment #1: An ode to my glasses 2nd Draft

 Dear my glasses,
     I remember the moment when you were first introduced to me. Unfortunately I was very unhappy at that moment. I had the habit of lying down on my bed when studying. I liked to study in that form which is very comfortable, but very harmful to my eyes. As a result, my eyesight became lower and the doctor said that I might need glasses. Therefore, I was angry at myself when I first met you. You seemed to be uncomfortable and troublesome, especially when I play sports. You were easily injured and deformed when hit by a ball. It was annoying, because I enjoyed playing sports a lot. I had to worry about you and look after you all the time. After a few months, the situation that I was worrying about eventually happened. I was playing soccer with my friends and one of my friends kicked the ball very hard which came right into my face. It hit my face very hard and it caused a headache for a moment. When I became okay, I realized that you were broken into pieces.
     Next day, I visited the store and bought a new body for you. I chose a brown one. Since then, I started to think that you need careful attention and special care, because you are already a part of my life. You were able to assist my eyes. You enabled me to see things clearly. Without you, I was just able to recognize the vague forms of objects. After several months, I started to become tired of taking care of you. In fact, to state the truth, you were a nuisance to me at that specific moment. I just cleaned you with my clothes and sometimes I just threw it on my bed. In addition, I just wore you without any care, because I just needed you. I was also tired of same color, so I just changed the colors for no specific reason.
     When I came to KMLA, I started to play basketball with passion for the first time. When I was young, I only played soccer. Soccer wasn't that dangerous to my glasses, because there were rarely occasions that I got hit by a ball in my face. However, it happened very often that a ball hit my face when I played basketball. The ball usually hit my face deforming you, and sometimes other players' hands hit you also. Those injuries eventually broke you again. 

     Therefore, I had to change your body again. The one I am wearing now is your 6th body. I sometimes want to discard you, and just get some contact lens instead of you. However, I know that you are much better than contact lens for my eyes. Additionally, my parents wouldn’t allow me wearing me contact lens for the sake of my eyes. Thus, I just decided to keep using you. There might be times of injuries, because I had to keep playing basketball. I will try very hard to avoid your injuries. I hope you work for me and help my eyes work efficiently for many more years. I never expressed this feeling, but I feel very thankful and sorry for you. I would put more attention and care for you to appreciate your hard work for me. I can promise that I would be putting special attention towards you.
                                                                                      Sincerely yours, Yong Wook
