Having epilepsy makes me a stronger person. Epilepsy makes me an emotional person because I can help some people to understand this condition by giving them information about epilepsy. For example, if you see someone having a seizure they must make sure they don't hurt themselves. You can make sure they don’t hurt themselves by moving sharp objects out of the way like tables because they have sharp edges and if they hit the table they can hurt seriously hurt themselves really bad. Having this condition is not fun at all but it just makes you a stronger person. I'm a very lucky man I have a wife who always there for me. I'm also lucky to my work family, my mom and my cousins who have been there since day one. With my wife, and my co-workers helping me every day. My wife and Co-workers helped me with a walk I did in 2014-2015. My work was very happy to do it and they love doing it. I'm so happy that I have great friends like them that I can count on. My co-workers had donated their time to the walk and other ones donated money online too. It was great to of had my wife and my co-workers at the walk. They are a great group of people to work with and to be around. I raise money for epilepsy. I have great group of friends on my side. The best thing is to have your family always there on your side through the good and the bad.view less
