After one seizure in the middle of a lecture on Teddy Roosevelt, a classmate trailed me in the hallway to ask me if I was alright. "I'm totally fine," I explained, "I have epilepsy and you saw me having a seizure." "You have epilepsy?" the kid responded, "but you're in all my AP classes." Needless to say, he didn't pass the decency test. I hope that in the future, my seizures will not test how decent a human someone is but merely how human someone is. We must continue to fight the misconceptions so that people will be able to access basic human compassion rather than be afraid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
