I resolved my computer issues today. I went to the store with the intention of looking at computers, looking for the one that best fit my interests, needs, and what I could or was willing to pay. I was scared I wouldn’t find anything today, especially since I couldn’t spend all day doing this, as I had planned, but I visited the first store and there it was. I compared it with the others, and I went to another store, but the one I liked was on sale at the first store. I could also afford it, so I got it.
But before I was able to go get my life back on order, I went to see my psychiatrist. He gave me a very detailed justification for me taking Ritalin to convince the health insurance that I need it. While my mom and I were there, they talked about my improvement through the past three years, and how we will be able to see this in these tests, which hopefully I wont have to take again. They also talked about how me taking them and later writing about my experience working with them will help future patients.
This last part, about helping other patients is the best part. I joke that I’m a guinea pig, but if I’m helping other patients, I don’t mind. I hope these tests show good results and improvement that can help them prove that their psychotherapy works and TBI patients can improve.
We can and I am living proof of that.

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.
