I had a job interview this morning. I was already nervous, and to add to this, it was a group interview. All the other applicants were hearing what I said, and even thought they were very nice, I couldn’t help comparing myself to them; and I’m sure they were all doing the same. I have never been one of those people who can just make everyone in the room pay attention to them, so it was not easy for me. I do not know how to speak and make it interesting. Today I had to do that, but I couldn’t. I didn’t know what I could say.
When I left and I was asked what happened, I didn’t know what to say. I was still terrified and nervous. I felt like no one wanted to hear what I had to say, or it wasn’t impressive enough. That feeling is horrible, feeling like you have nothing to bring to the table, or at least not what they want. Asking myself, what do I say? How do I respond to that? It’s been 7 hours and I’m still nervous.
Now that is over, I just have to wait for an answer, and hope I move on to the next round of interviews.

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.
