When I said I was quitting Diet Coke or any other soda, I thought it was going to be really easy. I didn’t even think about it. The first day was really easy; yesterday was not that easy, today… I’ve been lucky to have people watching me. I keep seeing soda everywhere. I want one; I’m tired of drinking water. Don’t get me wrong, I love drinking water, but when all you’ve drank for three days is water, there comes a time when you just want a little taste.

But the solution is not drinking soda again; it’s drinking something else. I think I should have had milk or juice for breakfast or some sort of juice or smoothie with lunch. Just add some taste in there somewhere.

I also feel bad if I quit now, after just three days because I told my family, friends, everyone who reads my blog, and my doctor who told me he will try again for like the millionth time. The first one, who drinks any, loses. I don’t want lo lose. I am not a quitter.

But this is not easy, just going cold turkey on soda like this, is not easy at all. I am struggling with this decision.

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.
