In case you hadn't already clued in, the very author of this blog suffers from RP. Now, I'm not asking you to feel sorry for me, but I wish to simply educate my peers on the condition I have just to try and understand where I'm coming from, or viewing it from my perspective. I have had the symptoms of this disease since childhood, so basically for as long as I can remember. I've worn corrective lenses since preschool, and the one time I tried to wear contact lenses, my eyes did not cooperate with the idea of trying to rest small, clear lenses onto my eyeball.
I've always been a good student, but I have had to learn in various different ways, relying more on the assistance from others than is noticeable. On a sidenote, I don't always sit in the front of the classroom, mainly because of perceptions of students who sit there (partially joking), but I don't always like sitting in the back either. It's difficult for me to read the board at that distance, and I believe there are more distractions, and it's much easier to slack off and not pay attention to what's being taught.
