Cornerstone 4 Siblings
About Me
Hi! My name is Michelle Lee and I am currently a junior at Northern Valley Regional High School at Demarest. When epilepsy took over my sister’s body, my family started to break apart: my sister was in the hospital and my parents were overwhelmed in taking care of her. As we all struggled to face facts and accept our unfortunate situation, I remember feeling like an outcast. As my little sister was battling the constant assault of seizures, I fell deeper into a dark hole of loneliness. I craved the attention of my parents, as I was still young, but knowing that my sister Chloe needed them, I retreated deeper into myself for solace, where at times I harbored dark thoughts.
​
Chloe still suffers from episodes; however, unlike before, I am by her side, holding her hand and encouraging her to fight back with everything she has.

My friends became an amazing outlet for me to start voicing the thoughts and emotions I withheld from the world; amazingly, talking about my problems started to relieve the pressure off my chest.
I started to accept what I was going through and realized that my little sister needed me more than ever.
