I've had epilepsy for 18 years now and had to take over 5 or six different medications but now I know I can use it to help others who feel different. Sure we cant do things exactly like everyone else but if everyone was exactly alike what fun would the world be ? No one would be unique. At first I was confused and sad but as time went by I realized my Epilepsy was not a burden but a gift ! It changes my thinking but not always in a bad way. It helps me be imaginative and creative. Someday I hope to use that imagination to become a writer. If you have Epilepsy I hope this paragraph will inspire you to follow your dreams and makes you realize you 're just as important as anyone else . You can use what you know to help others. The only one who needs your approval is you !!
