“Having epilepsy feels
frightening because every time I
get an attack I get scared . . . but
the good thing is that in my
school I have a health center
which helps me and checks if I’m
okay. Imagine if I didn’t have a
health center and I kept getting
my seizures. I would have to be
going home a lot and I wouldn’t
get to learn the subjects . . .
That’s why the health center is
important to me.”

to see a health care provider
