Sarah's Blog: Dystonia & College

10/24/07

Dystonia had a big impact on my life as a college student but did not prevent me from doing anything! I was very active on campus. I was in a number of different organizations, and I didn't let my dystonia slow me down. I think the most important thing you have to do in college is make sure you are receiving all the assistance that you need. Whether you need a note taker, extra time on test, a scribe, a reader, technology, or whatever it is, make sure you have everything because it can makes your life a whole lot easier! I have a great support system. I can talk about my frustrations to a number of people, and it is important to have those people to lean on. Being able to count on certain people makes your day-to-day struggles that much easier. I make sure my dystonia does not rule my life. Yes, I have dystonia, but I don't want it to define me.
