Voices of Epilepsy

On February 12, a health article was published on The New York Times website. I was doing some browsing on the Internet, and found this incredibly intriguing website. It is called, "The Voices of Epilepsy", and introduces us to six people with epilepsy who are willing to share their story. What makes this article so unique is that there is a link that brings the viewer to a website where you can actually hear their voices. Each individual briefly talks about how epilepsy effects their lives. They talk about when they developed epilepsy, how they cope with it, and different ways they control it. I almost found myself addicted to this site, because it's not a site I usually visit. Listening to the people speak was much better than reading about them. Hearing them made it feel more personal, and a chance for other epileptics to relate to their situations. I admire them for sharing their inspiring stories with the world.
