Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.

Hey there!

My name is Nikole.
I'm 14 years young.For some reason you have been brought to my blog. :)And this is my first post.On june 16th I had my first seziure. It happened to be at school. (I attended KIPP  so this was during the summer session.) An ambulance was called,a scence was caused. Well, that's how I felt. I was so out of it as I was rushed to the local Children's hospital , I told one of the EMT's he was cute. I recived major support as I spent the night at the Emergency room : My school college counsler stayed with me, My dad and his employees , My mom and most of the people at the hospital , my friends, and my little brother. I was still majorly embaressed! Yet, I still put on a brave face. I was lucky that my mom used to work in the Neurology department. I was able to get a quick appointment. My parents thought  that this would be my first and only seziure. But, before I even made it to my appointment I had another seziure. :/ During , my appointment i was diagnosed with Epilepsy. This was a major blow for me. This made me very self conscious. I was also supper worried. I stayed up many nights worrying. It has taken me awhile but i'm not as worried or self conscious as I was at the start. Bringing us to the reason I made this blog.  This blog is to help raise awarness about epilepsy and to help children and adults with epilepsy. By telling my story and more.
