Dear BrainTalk Community members
My name is Jun and I am a 22 year old who is in University at this present moment. When I was around 1 years of age, I had a stroke which affected the left temporalparietal lobe of my brain. This has left me with right paralysis. Growing up, this brain damage has never really caused me a great deal of worry, but starting in my university years, I have slowly become more worried about what I am capable of doing in terms of physically and cognitively. As well, as of my Gr 10 year in high school, I began to have grand mal seizures which last about a minute as continues to re-occur to this day (about 1ce a month). Currently I have been experiencing a great deal of difficulty in learning in university. I am very committed to studying but have a great deal of difficulty memorizing/ retaining the material that I study. No matter how many time I read the material, trying to bring together the big picture is very difficult. I dont know whether it is just my technique of studying which is bad, so if anyone with a similar disability, or otherwise a good technique, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you very much for hearing my story
