Today I began the day by writing a cover letter for another job application, the first one on the year. After sending the cover letter and resume I went to the gym for my first workout of the year. After I got home and had lunch I decided to do laundry, another first to 2016.

This is the exciting part of the New Year; everything we do is a first for that year. Today I ran for the first time in 2016. It doesn’t matter that I ran for 12, instead of the 15 minutes I was able to run in December. That was the ending of 2015,  but now it’s 2016, and I was able to start the year running for 12 minutes. I also started sending out job applications earlier this year. Last year I started applying close to summer, but this year the job search began early, only four days into the year.

As I said in my previous post, it’s time to start fresh and get things done. I want to do this, do better this year and achieve more. I have three New Year’s resolutions; one is to get a job, second is to make my blog stronger and keep growing, and third is to continue taking graduate classes.

Let’s get all of this, and more done before 2017.

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.
