When I was 5 years old, I was on my way to Disney World and I fell asleep. When I woke up all I knew was that I was in a hospital. I had had a seizure on the interstate outside of Tallahassee. I had always been perfectly fine and had never had one before then. All my family was there and they had seen it happen. They told me I had epilepsy. I had never even heard of that before. I was so sad that I had a seizure, but then I thought of Helen Keller and how they could not have told her that she had epilepsy.She could not have heard them. Even if they had wrote it on a board she could not have seen it, because she was blind and deaf.

The second time I had a seizure I was aware that I had had one but I had wished that I did not. Then I thought what did Helen Keller think every morning when she woke up and could not see anything.

I thought a lot about how I complain about having to take medicine. But at least I could see which medicine to take in the morning. So if you ever think you have it bad, think about Helen Keller, because she probably has it worse than you ever will.
