Don't want to lose my sight by jake cosmos aller Five Senses writing prompt entry |
The prompt was to pick one of the five senses that you would least like to lose and explain why, and which one I would choose to lose. I am a big reader and lately a big binge tv and movie viewer, so I would hate losing my sense of sight. If I had to choose one to lose, it would probably be smell since I am nose blind. I simply can't smell a lot of things. My taste buds are probably the most developed and are close to normal, maybe above normal. I would most hate to lose my sense of sight. This is because I was born four months premature. Spend the first few months in an oxygen tent, which was a newly discovered technique. My mother drank and smoked while pregnant, but I don't blame her. Everyone did back then, they did not know better. The doctors said that I would probably be blind, deaf, and mentally deficient. Well, I am half blind, quarter deaf, and half nose blind as well. But I tested as a genius. I was reading at the 16 grade (college-level highest score) level in the first grade and got 750 on my history advance placement SAT score -only one of eight people to score so high in the entire country. I should have majored in history at university. For 65 years, I have worn glasses, probably should wear a hearing aid but so far have not gotten round to it My wife has supervision, hearing, smell, and taste. Sort of complements my deficiencies. As we do in so many ways
