When my friend Susie told me she was starting a blog, a little after I started mine, I got really excited. I told her I would share her blog on my blog, but I forgot. Every time I see her I apologize and say I’m going to write about her blog this week… I always forget. When I saw her yesterday I told myself, ok that’s enough, your next blog post will be about her blog.

I am very proud of her, what she’s doing, and I want to share her story. She wants to loose weight, not to be a model or fit into a size 0; she just want to be healthy, not feel limited by her obesity. She wants to loose weight, but she is doing it by being very healthy. She is exercising, with the help of her husband (Congrats to the couple on their 25th anniversary), who recently got a Personal Trainer Certificate (hence his new name, Zumba Master).   She is also watching what she eats. Like me, she quit soda (actually she quit before I did), so there I have my inspiration not to go back. If Susie can do it, so can I.

She is doing a great job and I’m very proud of her. Read her blog at http://fatsusie8.blogspot.com/

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.
