Rachel presented her science project at the Santa Cruz County Science Fair. By this time we had gotten used to her seizures, which seemed to happen once or twice a day. We hoped that she would make it through the judging, but no such luck. After one judging session, the boy next to her asked “What happened to you?” He explained that she had stopped answering the judges’ questions, and eventually the judges gave up and left.

Apparently she still did well enough to win first place in her category, earning a trip to the State Science Fair in Los Angeles in late April. Go Rachel!
