Today, Monday September 21, 2015, I want to share something I wrote on Monday September 16, 2013.

9/16/13

Enjoying that exciting moment when I’m about to finish the first book I’ve been able to finish reading since my accident. It’s just the little things that help me see how much I have improved. And that makes me excited. It’s small moments life this that make me happy and proud of myself and that I can see how much I have improved.

That’s right, two years ago today I finished reading the first book I had been able to read since the accident. I started others but I lost interest or just couldn’t focus. “The Hunger Games” was the first book I read.

I knew what I was expecting since I read it after seeing the movie, but after that I went on to read the next two books in the series. Right after I finished that one I went on to “Catching Fire”, and then to “Mockingjay”, the last book in the series. I have watched the movies as I have read the books, now I’m waiting for the release of Mockingjay- Part 2 in November.

I’m glad that I was able to find a book that would re-awaken my love of reading.  I already have a book in line for when I finish what I’m reading now.

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.
