Time

The
Image of
My
Existance

My disability, over time, has merely shaped who I am as an individual. Throughout my life, I have faced so many hurtles. Oneway I have tried to overcome all the challenges my life throws me is by telling my story at epilepsyfoundation.org/ecommunities/heroes. By doing this, I don't feel like I'm wasting my time doing nothing with my life. Why not try to use my life as an example of just how challenging it can be to live with such a complex physical disability? It's great to work towards teaching people all about what really makes me such a great person.
Over the course of my life, people think that my disability is really who I am. They don't always want to take time to learn about my abilities and what I am actually good at. Boy, sometimes, I really wish that people wouldn't be so afraid to get to know me- and learn all about who I am, regardless of my physical differences.
I absolutely HATE it when people won't take the time to get to know Nico, the advocate- not "the girl with a disability". Sometimes I wish that I had a majical potion to make people realize that there's a lot more to me than just my physical disability that can be seen on the outside. I feel that what's actually on the inside is way more important than what people see about me by looking at my outer appearances.
