As I was walking = As I walked? - e-prime

Me again. Since no one else has deigned to post translation requests so far and since I myself cannot help learning E-Prime, I will then or occasionally come up with a simple request or another.

Can "I got hit by a car as I was walking to school" easily render itself into "... as I walked to school"?

Thank you.

This morning I got hit by a car as I crossed the road.

is what you see to be the best that you are?

Does what you see/regard as the best trait of your personality help you in any way?
Do your eyes and senses place you on the same pedestal you place your eyes and senses?

Please correct me accordingly.
