Today, I attended my first day of school 4 days after reconstructive surgery. But no worries: I'm sure my alien-like appearance and 2 hours of Darth Vader style breathing in an otherwise silent test room will make me lots of friends. FML

Hi, OP here! I had an accident, and therefore could not choose the date of the surgery. My face was severely smashed up, my nose broken and my jaw wired shut. It was a summer class and I missed the first 3 days, so by the time I was well enough to go they were already testing. The class was a pre-req I needed for my next year of class, my senior year. I didn't want to graduate late from college, as I am a pre med student and want to take the mcat next summer. I was not seriously worried about making friends, it was just funny to get so many strange looks. Anyway thanks for all the sweet comments, I'm doing much better now and look back to normal!!

I take my hat off to you. I was in an accident at the age of 15. Broke my jaw & cheek bone, and also lost my one ear. I was teased so badly I actually dropped out of school. I would never wish that hurt and pain on anybody. So congrats that you stuck it out! I hope your story inspires people to not give up. I wish I had known your story when I was going through that. My life may have turned out differently.

Should have worn a Darth Vader Mask or had the equipment shape like it.
