[epilepsy] Camp

 

Hi All,

I have not written in awhile, but I've been checking in and keeping (fairly)
updated on what's going on. I will be volunteering at a summer camp for a week
this summer as part of my "professional" (although I am still a student)
development. The camp is one for kids with chronic illnesses, a different
illness every week. Turns out, the ONLY week that is not full for female
counselors is epilepsy week. So I signed up. But...something makes me a little
anxious about this. I don't know why. It's definitely not about not wanting to
see people have seizures. It's something more selfish and personal, almost as
though I want it to be known that I am a person with epilepsy too...and yet I'm
not sure whether that is information I should be disclosing. Or why it matters.
I just wanted to kind of share my thoughts about this, because I'm not quite
sure what I'm nervous about, except that everything will be too close to home,
maybe.
