Hello everyone-
Today I got an email from someone taking a medical, social and psychological aspects of disabilities class. She has asked to visit or be a pen-pal with me for a college project. (I had to take this as well when I was in college. Very good) So I said sure- it turns out, her boyfriend also has Epilepsy. She knows that I have several impairments but her main focus is on Epilepsy. We are to write or email a few weeks I believe and then she will have a final project to turn in or present. I think it will be great. We can discuss main issues regarding Epilepsy, how society views it, various aspects of this disability/condition.
I think its a great opportunity for me to share information with her that her class and teacher will be learning from her.
Education is so important. I can remember sharing some info while I was in that class about Epilepsy, Medical IDs (why they are important), medications and side effects as well as how Epilepsy can be an "invisible disability". I also was asked some questions by my classmates and it was an interesting conversation because so many people had the old way/view of Epilepsy.
I miss college hehehe.
Take care everyone
