I just logged into Facebook and saw this  

37 reasons not to visit Puerto Rico

I was a offended by the title. I thought they were really telling people not to visit Puerto Rico.  Who were these horrible people criticizing my home?  I decided to read it and find out what they were saying. As I started reading, I liked it. In the end, I loved it. They were not criticizing, they were being sarcastic and showing and reminding people of all the great things you can find in Puerto Rico and all the beauty our island has to offer.

Now, I want everybody to read it.  I want everybody to know the wonderful island I was born and raised in.  It is not perfect, we have some work to do with our government and other stuff; but it’s damn near perfect, with all it’s beauty, food, parties, and beaches.

I’m not advertising my island or anything, but people should come visit; it’s beautiful. Read the article and you’ll see.

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.
