Sports
Sun, 05/07/2006 - 14:24Growing up I played team basketball from age 7 to 8th grade. I played team football from age 7 to my Jr. year in High School. I quit playing football in the middle of my Jr. High season due to back to back concusions.
Parents, will you allow your children play any sport they wish if they have E?

Hi again :-) Well, I don't see any reason why a child can not play a sport despite the "E". I was in the badminton and tennis team when I was in highschool. Yes, I had my battle with seizures back then, but I wasn't about to stop having fun just because of "E" :-) My parents never discouraged me from taking any sports if anything they were happy for me. If I'm happy they're happy ;-) Seizuregirl "Life is what you make of it"
