Another unstoppable girl, a true fighter
Today I went to see my neurologist. When he asked me how I was I immediately told him I made it 6 months, seizure free. Right now I am 6 months and 1 week, seizure free. The next step is a big one, 6 more months. I am going to take it day by day.
But apart from my great news, today’s visit to the neurologist’s office was new experience, and a great one. It’s horrible to see how many people suffer from this, but it is incredible to see how strong they are. I am not the only unstoppable person. People face this with such bravery; this is just another part of their lives.
Today I was talking to another person who suffers from epilepsy, has suffered from it a lot longer than I have and has different types of epilepsy that I have just read about. I had not met anyone who actually lives with that. I was shocked when I heard her talking, to see her sitting in front of me with a smile on her face, telling me what she had been through. Not wanting me to feel sorry for her, just sharing her story with me, hearing my story and asking me about it.
It was an incredible experience. I wish her the best and hope she can achieve everything she told me she wants.

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.
