I know that people are human beings struggling with who they are in the life they live. I recall my experience as a teenager living with epilepsy at a time when epilepsy was hardly known. Despite my unique experience, it was not different from other people's experiences. Perspective helps me to recognize how human I am, despite my differences.

Reflecting on knowledge that wasn’t available thirty years ago and coming to terms with my truth. What happened can’t be changed and I am grateful that it never broke me. I can embrace the truth and discover where it takes me.

Disability is not something that is against us that must be fixed to prove our worth, it is something everyone can recognize in moments of uncertainty and grow from it. Disability is a motivation to pay attention to our ability and apply it to the situation. Recognize that disability is something that everyone encounters on their journey to grow.
