This information really gives me hope. Im 16 years old. I had a procedure of cataract removal when I was just 8 months when the doctor discover I had a cataract. The doctor said the cataract was developed since birth. The operation was successful, though my left eye has a problem. It is not straight or in other words, i have a crossed eye with my left eye. I was 5 years old when I started wearing eye glasses wherein the left lense has to be in a high grade for the improvement. The doctor recommended a contact lense when I was a baby although my mom was afraid of the risk so she just have had that eyeglasses. I was always bullied when I was in elementary due to my condition. There's a point that came where they throw stones on me, while teasing me blind,or words that really hurt me a lot. I feel so down those times. My parents decided to transfer me to other schools to spare me from those bullies. I dont want to brag, but I became an honor student every year since I started school. I became 2nd honor, and even 1st honor when I was in my elem days. I was an achiever. I wrote poems. I act in plays. I became active at school. I always thank God because despite of all these things happened in my life, I became strong. Im strong I know. But not all the time. There are times I just lock in my rooms and started crying all night long wishing the next morning I would wake up having my eyes totally normal. I always pray. Always. But sometimes I tend to lose hope. Doctors said that at my age, maybe its too late to make it okay. Now that Im growing, I realized that it must ne treated. But how? Who can even help me? I dont want to tell to my parents that I always suffer because I know they will worry too much and cry because of me. It hurts me everytime I see them cry because of me. I want to be strong but I dont know where to get that strenghth aside from God whom I can tell everything. Im so worried and terrified at the same time. Im growing. I know I have many opportunities in life but my eye is the burden itself. How can I look for a job? Are they going to hire someone like this? How can I reach my dreams for my family? If I had this condition. I want to be an engineer really. But I know Im not qualified. I want to be accountant but according them it cant be because it requires a clear eye sight. I dont know how to deal with this. Im writing this to seek for help. I've been suffering for years.  Please help me. I want to achieve something. I want to prove something. That I can do all things possible despite my condition. Im desperate to be cured. I know it sounds funny but I want to ask Mcdonnell's help. Please here me out. Thank you so much!
