Interesting notes about me: I started racing go karts at 14 and I was an average kart racer, but at 15 I failed the eye exam at the DMV. I had to get glasses to drive a car and my dad said I couldn't race karts if I didn't wear my glasses. I won my first race wearing glasses and since then I have always worn them. I can see clearly now!
