2004 Get the WORD Out! Contest Winner: Ages 10-13
Emily Kagey, 13

I have a VNS. It stops all my seizures.
Sometimes, it makes my voice rough.
It is right in my chest.
I don't even notice that it's there.
I can do almost anything I want to do
even though I have seizures.
Just like other kids, I like having fun.
