9. I knew I was near-sighted, but thought glasses were for nerds so didn't want to wear them.

I wore them in class because I had to see the board, but off they'd go in between classes. One day I heard someone yell, but looked around and couldn't see anyone so just walked on. Later that day, a friend walked up and asked why I was so stuck-up. Said she and others tried to say hi between classes but I'd never acknowledge them so thought I was stuck-up! Crazy! Heavy set, freckle faced girl was not stuck up - just didn't want to look worse. Well, after that, I wore my glasses 24x7 so I'd never miss seeing a friend again. Wore them like that from age 8 - 69 when I had cataract surgery and new lens so I can now see without glasses! YAY!
