I don’t know why people are afraid of people who have epilepsy. It’s just a condition. It’s not something you can catch; it is not contagious. Epilepsy has to do with the brain. Like me, I was born perfectly normal. However, I had one of my blood vessels on the left side of my brain bust. That is why I have seizures for the rest of my life. Epilepsy is not a bad word. It is only a condition. Doctors are doing more research on it so they can try out new medication that may control the seizures much better. Maybe one day, they will find a stronger medication for epilepsy. I will do everything in my power to make sure that people with epilepsy will have a better life. Maybe one day, that would be cool. Maybe my life is not perfect. People think I can’t do anything, but they should think again. I can do anything when I put my mind to it. I can do it.
