It wasn't assigned homework, but if it had been, Cassidy would have got an A+. The grade 3 student from Nova Scotia, Canada came up with the idea of having a day focused on epilepsy, which she called Purple Day - March 26th.

Hi, My name is Cassidy and I am 9 years old but I will be 10 in January. I have Epilepsy and I started Purple Day for Epilepsy last year on March 26th to let people know that they aren't alone and how much they can learn about other people with Epilepsy and also about Epilepsy.

I started Purple Day because I want people to know that they are not the only ones with Epilepsy. When I first got Epilepsy I thought I was the only kid with it. I learned that there was a lot of other kids and big people with Epilepsy from all over the world. I also want people to know that there are different types of seizures and not to be afraid of seizures.
