ENL Announces the Scholarship Winner for 2005-2006
"When diagnosed in Grade 4, it took me almost a year to get myself balanced again on medication. It was a very tough time in my life. But being so young when I developed epilepsy, I believe it helped me to mature more quickly than normal. I took it upon myself to develop a routine so that I wouldn't miss my medication. Being 9 years old, that wasn't really expected. It has helped me throughout the past eight years to be organized, focused, and to always strive to do my best. Also, the experience has caused me to want to prove that I wasn't any different than anyone else without epilepsy. This has been the most important things epilepsy has taught me." Aside from her studies in pharmacy, Leah is also very active in activities such as charitable events, music, and drama. Epilepsy Newfoundland and Labrador is proud to award her the Jim Hierlihy Memorial Scholarship. You are an inspiration to us all. |
