"my family's troubles"
  by: cmarie

I was just diagnosed with epilepsy. At first I thought it was my fault but as I kept on having more and more seziures I realized it wasn't my fault. School got harder and I couldn't concentrate as well as I could before. Everyone knew I was a good student but they kept wondering what had happened as my grades started to slip. As I went from an all E student to a no E student and all the rest S. Just last week I was 5 months free and then I had two seziures in a row. My summer is hard enough already going in to junior high, new friends--needing to tell your new friends about epilepsy. But my family has helped me a lot so we'll get through it together.
