Helping someone and being nice is one thing, feeling sorry for someone is another. Don’t confuse these two.

I think this goes to any problem in life, for anyone. There are some things pity just can’t and won’t fix. Don’t feel sorry; help. Help, when needed helps us move forward; pity just makes us sink lower and lower until we just can’t get up.

Some people just don’t know how to help. They think they do, and they have the best intentions but they don’t do it in the right way.

Honestly I just want people to stop feeling bad for me. I just want to be treated normally and just go back to being me. And that is what I’m supposed to be getting ready for, but people just don’t seem to understand that I have gotten a lot better, the last thing I need is for them to pity me and I just want to go back to how I was a year ago.

I think it makes people feel good that they feel like they’re helping but it really doesn’t.

Be happy, and if you need help:

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
