Garrett Prince | Support SB433

Dear New Hampshire House of Representatives, My name is Garrett Prince. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of three. Epilepsy has always been an obstacle for me socially. Whenever I meet someone, I have to tell them what to do if I have a seizure. Half of the time I meet people, they don't know what a seizure even is. Whenever I was at school, I was scared that I would have a seizure, and no one would know what to do. In High School I had a small seizure at a school dance. when I was brought to the nurse's office instead of paramedics coming to check on me, there were cops. I got breathalyzed because they thought I was just drunk. No student should have to go through this due to their seizure disorder. Passing this bill would ensure that students with epilepsy are safe in school. It would ensure that students with seizure disorders can trust their teachers and feel safe in school. We teach teachers about CPR, why can't we educate on seizure rescue plans? One of every ten people will have a seizure in their lifetime. Please pass SB 433 and don't fail me and all the other children with seizure disorders in the state of New Hampshire. Thank you, Garrett Prince of Lyme New Hampshire
