When this happens, I don’t wait for a miracle to happen. I take action. I rely on my strong support network of friends and teachers to help me to stay on top, rather than fall to the bottom. The extra effort has produced study habits and compensation methods of which I am proud.

Epilepsy has led to anxiety. Having a seizure in public is embarrassing and feels like a wolf getting shot down in front of it’s pack. I used dread school as a result. I have learned to handle pressure in all situations. I am proud to be a positive example for my friends. I’ve learned what it is like to have problems, and

    “Someone call 911”, I said, when I saw a girl fall down the stairs lying unconscious. The nurse at Rockdale County High School assisted with the situation. My friend Fred and I held her so she wouldn’t hurt herself any more than had already been done. The nurse notified us that this girl has epilepsy (meaning that a person has had two or more seizures, but it’s not contagious & is not caused by mental illness or mental retardation). I didn’t pay too much attention to what the nurse was saying because I was focused on the girl's breathing and her ability regain consciousness.…

Cannabidiol seems to mitigate the psychoactive effect of THC, the main euphoria-inducing chemical in cannabis. But cannabidiol also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that earlier work suggested could benefit people with multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease.…
