During a recruiting tournament for softball, I had my 2nd seizure in a hotel filled with athlete’s, coaches, and recruiters. I was straightening my hair for no particular reason in the morning. When all of a sudden, I apparently collapsed and started moaning. My mom rushed into the room. I had a bag of skittles by me, which spilt all over the hotel floor, and my mom forgot to move the straightener, so I ended up with a triangular scar on my left arm(pretty weird!!!). So I wasn’t awake to see this, but apparently, when I went down into the lobby in a stretcher, a bunch of random people and college coaches, were staring at me, wondering if I had like died, because I wasn’t moving. But then since the closest hospital was a children’s hospital, and I was about 15 at the time, I got to go there! It was really fun. If you’ve ever seen a t.v. show about doctors, like Grey’s Anatomy, than you know that the doctor’s/intern’s always like to see weird things. So when test’s were being run, the new intern’s all to notes on what I did/how I reacted. But, when the were doing the reaction test on my knee(the one where your knee’s get hit by a weird rubber thing), my knee bursted up into the air, almost knocking the doctor over. All the intern’s wanted to try, even my mother did. She took note of where to hit my knee, and when we got back to the hotel, all of my team wanted to try. It was really cool. And in the childeren’s hospital, instead of wheel chairs, you get to go in a wagon!!!, but I couldn’t because I would break it. And I was the oldest there!….But even though I had to leave early, it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Everyone could learn something from my story, many are to be learned and interpeted form this entry. Don’t hold out on anything that you want to do, just because you have a seizure I’ve played softball almost 13 years (i’m 17), and even though I may be hit in the head, or just randomly have an episode, I will never let it get in my way of playing. Besides, having this dissorder can get you money and make your college essay more interesting/be more likely to be accepted(because of diversity and sympathy). I love having this dissorder, it’s changed the way I look at life:)
