Last night I saw that it had been four years since I took the GRE, the test that I thought would determine what I would do for the next few years. Taking this test opened a lot of doors for me, but now I can’t believe I was able to take this test, which helped me be accepted where I wanted to at attend and be one step closer to achieving my dream.
Of course, my dream was taken away from me, but I am now working hard to get it back. I’m happy I took this risk at the moment I did because I didn’t know what life had planned out for me. I don’t know if I would have taken it after my life took the turn it did just a few months later. I still would have wanted this, to go to grad school, I just don’t know if I would have been able to prepare for this since I’m having trouble concentrating .
But, after seeing this, I know what I’m capable of and don’t want to give up. I can, and will get there, and every day I am one step closer.
Also, I do not remember taking this test but knowing me, I know I was really nervous before and I was relieved after, when I wrote 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.
