You have been seizure free for eleven months. You feel like you will never have another seizure. But then you get dizzy. You get up, and you feel something in your head, like a little headache. But you just had lunch so you’re not hungry. You just had diet coke so you should be awake. But you just can’t shake that weird feeling off.
This has happened before, but you don’t remember what happened after, what it was all about. So you go on. The headache is there, but you are still here. You’re conscious, and you remember everything. That’s all that matters.
You sit down. You feel a little better, but the headache is still there. It’s not a horrible headache, but it’s still there, and you can’t ignore it. You’re worried. What’s going to happen, is there something bad coming? Is it an aura?
Sit down, drink some juice, turn the lights off, and watch TV. That’s all you can do.
Then, before you know it, 8 p.m. comes around. Without thinking about it you get up and take you anti seizure medicine. You’re clear for the day. It’s one more day seizure free.
No longer scared, you go back to watching TV. You just needed to eat, and rest. You did too much, too early. Be proud, and take it easy, you’re still seizure free. 11 months going on 12!

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.
