for graduating Seniors who want to attend College. Justin Mitchell, above, was our recent
receipent of the scholarship. He is attending college in the Pine Bluff area. He is such an
inspiration to all of those in school who have epilepsy. He has a very supportive mom
and dad and it was a pleasure for the Epilepsy Education Association to have a part in
his future. There is nothing greater than looking into the eyes of someone who has
epilepsy and letting them know that they are worthwhile and we are here to help them.
Isn't that what it is all about?
