This Sunday, I will complete my fifth 5k in 3 years. 5 in 3 years! I think that’s more than I have done in my lifetime. Before this I had done 2, maybe 3, but that’s it. Now, I’ve been running at least one 5k a year.
It’s hard to believe that I would be able to do this, considering the condition that I was in when I did my first one three years ago, but now I just want to do better than the first one. I want to keep showing I can do this. Not just show others, but also show myself. I want to remind myself to keep going. If I set this challenge for myself, complete a 5k, which is pretty easy for some people, I can set bigger challenges and goals.
My goal is to do this in less than an hour and to run. Run more, walk less. I don’t know if I can, but trying is the only way to find out.
Let’s do 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.
