It’s old news, but I get so happy every time I see it.
This was when I realized, after the accident, that I had been accepted at Newhouse to do my masters in journalism. I had gotten the letter of acceptance before the accident, but I didn’t remember. I still don’t remember getting it, my reaction, anything. I remember finding it after the accident. I just found the letter of acceptance somewhere and I quickly told my mom. I remember how happy I was and my mom’s happiness at seeing a smile on my face. After all I had been through, this made me want to work harder to get better because I knew there was something great waiting for me when I got better.
This just made, and still makes all the hard work, fights with epilepsy, everything; worth it. I just want to get there and show everyone what I have. Seeing this is a reminder that I cannot stop. I have to put my best out there and I will get to where I was headed before all of this.
I need to keep seeing this.

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.
