Personal Narrative: My Experience With A Student With Epilepsy

153 Words1 Page

In the past, I have worked with a student with epilepsy. She was in the 8th grade, non-verbal (she used pointing, facial features, and grunting to communicate), and independent walking with only support on stairs or uneven surfaces. Thinking back on my experience, I was never fully trained on what do if the student ever showed signs of having a seizure. My experience was more of an observance of what procedures I noticed the teacher carrying out. When the student did have a seizure with only myself to assist her, I repeated the steps that I had seen. For future reference, I would make sure that all assisting teachers were fully comfortable and knowledgeable about the health care procedures. At the time of the incident, I was not fully comfortable

  • Personal Narrative: Multiple Traumatic Brain Injury

    619 Words  | 3 Pages

    Over the past four years I have seen more doctors than an average person will see in a lifetime. From endocrinologists to neurosurgeons, I have tirelessly sought medical treatment for multiple traumatic brain injuries I incurred at a young age. Through my personal struggle I learned that there is no adequate treatments for concussions and traumatic brain injuries in the State of New Mexico. Although the lack of these services forced me to seek treatment outside my community, it has become my main motivation to return to my community and share the knowledge I have been fortunate to receive through these many experiences. At the age of fourteen, I was the unfortunate recipient of four traumatic brain injuries, within a six-month time frame, that would result in a diagnosis of post-concussive syndrome.

    A significant challenge that I faced in my life occurred when I suffered a traumatic brain injury in 8th grade. Due to the injury I faced, I was unable to attend school for about a month, and I had to undergo multiple therapies over the span of two years. During this difficult time in my life, I learned that sometimes people judge a person unfairly. While I went to therapy, I looked normal. I did not have any physical obscurities, and this gave people the assumption that I was “normal” and that I could pursue the same activities as them with the same vigor.

    It was a Tuesday evening, September 13, 2011. There were two minutes left on the clock during just an ordinary soccer game of my sophomore year of high school. A player on the opposing team had a breakaway towards our goal with only myself between him and our goalie. With only stopping the ball in mind, I sprinted across the field and slide tackled the ball from the opponent. This collision caused the other player to flip off his feet and his knee found his way directly into my left temple.
