Why make bad assumptions?

One of the hardest things when it comes to dealing with epilepsy is what other people think of us. Some people (not everyone) get scared when someone has a seizure because they do not know what to do. This makes people assume the person who has seizures could be scary, bad, or dangerous. The correct thing to do is asking if the person is okay and taking seizure first aid education. It is very important to understand the concepts of epilepsy because it helps spread awareness.

The Power of Family

Image
My family has been so supportive about myself having epilepsy.  They love my inside and out.  I love them farther than the moon and back.  My family has found there is more than just having epilepsy. We believe its more of a gift, rather than a disease.   They have made sure I was treated once I found out I had epilepsy,  instead of leaving me in the dark. Some people took the risk of me having brain surgery and even though it failed,  the thoughts are what counted.  I had to go through a recovery process after leaving the hospital and my family made sure to be by my side.   My mom has been my hero and gets a gold star of everything she has done for me. Making sure I'm happy, successful and proud. I could never do any of these risks if it wasn't for her. She's seen the best in me ever since I was born.  Thank you mom. I love you ❤️!   The power of family has helped me through the brightest and darkest times in my life. I l...

Getting Up and Trying Again!

Image
In life, we've all messed up on what we do. However, this creature's quote makes sense. When we get knocked out either physically or emotionally, it is our choice whether to get up and try again or stay down and fail.  I have knocked my head down countless times in my life from having a seizure disorder. I've fallen on concrete, wooden floor, tile ground, the road and other hard surfaces. I've had 3 concussions in my life too. However, I find there are reasons why I should live. Those reasons are called goals. Educating seizure aid 101 helps learn how to catch someone's head. I want to get up and tell you what to look for in someone about to seize. That's one of my top goals in life. I feel like epilepsy awareness has to be spread. It's a beautiful feeling.   I set goals because I love accomplishing things I love. Even if I've hit my head multiple times, I get up and want to live life. There might be something exciting happening and I wouldn...

Why You Should Join Terrie's Boxing Club

Image
Boxing has become an absolute miracle in my life. I don't give Terrie's Boxing Club 5 stars, I give the place 10 star review. It has been one of the most amazing commitments in my life. The reason why is because boxing has helped balance, not just my job and college, but my life overall. Here are reasons why I love  Terrie's Boxing Club and encourage you to sign up and  join.  First off, Terrie's Boxing Club is a 100% judge free zone. The staff will work with anyone no matter their size, age, or shape. Respect and great customer service seems like their top priority. Second, is the employees are awesome in my eyes. My point of view about them is Spiderman's quote, "With great power, comes great responsibility". The staff tend to take this quote seriously in their own ways because everyone teaches differently depending on who they work with. Having different teaching techniques is very unique and important. An example is my boxing instructor uses different ...
