High school and Epilepsy
Sun, 08/26/2007 - 23:30Topic: Teen Zone
Hi everyone my name is Gina; I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. Even though my epilepsy isn't sever I still really feel like a total out sider. It’s not that fun epically at school. I struggle in school a lot epically when it comes to school home work and making new friends because they don’t always get what we are going through in our every day lives. I love to swim in the pool all the time. I also take private piano lesions and do crafts in my spare time for fun like knitting bags and more. I find them very fun. I don’t drive which is pirty disappointing because all of my friends get to. Does anyone feel the same way as me? Talk to ya’ll later.

I am glad that you have a COOL neurologist. Mine is a very sweet lady as well. I think that you should start at the Junior collage because you can slowly get use to the collage life and take classes that you have interest in to find out what you would like to major in. I might want to become a speech therapist, interior designer, or a Zoologist. Thats what I want to do. why are not in Special Edd? I am and thats where I get all my help with all my hard classes. I have been in special Edd since I was in 3rd grade. I get pulled out for Tests with other students. Talk to you later

Uh I JUST got diagnosed like a month or two ago, and so far I've been able to keep my usual grades, also, I really don't want that much attention, you know? That's awesome, who are you interested in those paths? =)))) I'd either like to go into child therapy or web page design

Yeah, I thankfully have a VERY cool neurologist, he is young, and understands how to relate and explain things to me without talking down to me, which helps A LOT, what do you think of the people you see? I know after Highschool I plan to go stay with my friends for the summer, and I will probably start looking at colleges soon, but I'm liek you and don't really know what to do yet, I talked to my english teacher and she knows whats going on, so she has been cutting me some slack, but my spanish class is killing me, the teacher has a grudge against me and the kids around me looooove to talk so I never get the notes down, and when I miss a day she REFUSES to give me the work so my grade is being affected =/ oh well, what are your interests? =)
