Yesterday I was doubting myself. I didn’t think I would write about my grades on my blog. I have never been one to share my grades with people, but then writing about it was the only way I could put my feelings of disappointment into coherent words, and get it all out.

Every time I tried to explain my feeling to someone it would all become a mess, jumping back and forth, english to Spanish, Spanish to english, and a lot of “como que…” (like). When I started writing it, I really got the words out, and then I thought, isn’t this the point of my blog? To share my process towards getting my life back together? This is a very important chapter, so I decided to share what I wrote.

I expected people to be as disappointed in me as I was and that was one of the things that scared me the most. I thought you would all think I wasn’t unstoppable, but the reactions where the complete opposite of this. Your support and belief in me , your beautiful words, and your encouragement to continue helped me to see that this isn’t the end of my career as a writer, author or journalist. This was just another bump in the road. I’ve been through worse, so I can get over an F and keep going. I shouldn’t let this stop me.

Because of this I would like to thank all of you for all your unconditional support and belief in me. Without your encouraging words I don’t think I would have the courage, or even want to write again today. Because  of your words, I see that I can still do this.

Thank you! Gracias!

You are all the best!

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.

  2. We’ll never be disappointed in you, Kiki. Just keep at it, working hard. I read somewhere that Walt Disney was fired from his first job because he “lacked ideas”. Imagine that. But he never gave hope. And neither will you. You have a big family and lots of friends that love you and support you and are very proud of you. Big kiss.
