I just finished a job interview. I wont say where, or what the job was, but it went well, or at least I think it went well. At least it went better than my last interview. Here I was calm and comfortable.

Before the interview I was very nervous, during the interview I felt calm, now I’m very scared. I have no idea what they thought of me, if I gave them the answers they were looking for, or if they liked me for the job. Now I feel nervous again.

It was only two people judging me, so I can handle that, but I kept forgetting what I was saying, or what I wanted to say. I don’t know if lack of memory during stress and nervousness will be a negative factor for me when they are making their decision.

I am still nervous, and I can’t stop writing. I just want to eat a hamburger. I think that will calm me down. I don’t know if it will, but I think it will work. I really hope it does.

I blame not getting the job at Build a Bear on it being a group interview, not talking enough and not answering some of the questions. Here, it was just me, I talked and I answered all of their questions. I accepted their drink of water; which actually helped me calm down a little bit and helped me take a moment to think.

I still think I could have said more, but I’m not sure it would have been relevant for this job. I tried and did the best I could; now I have to be calm and wait.

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.
