3 years ago, I did a survey for teens with epilepsy between the ages of 14 and 18. We wrote a survey in a room about epilepsy awareness and ways to inform the public of a rising issue. I thought it was a little weird that we had to write it in a room with 100 people but I also realized that people were much worse off than I was. The questions really made me think about how epilepsy sounds and looks to people who have never been exposed to it. I do think the questions were effective because they really helped put me in the shoes of everyone around me and truly understand how they react and feel about the situation.
