Well it’s the end of the weekend, we just got back home and I have to say long weekends are exhausting. I’m not saying they’re bad, nothing was bad about this weekend, but I’m really tired and glad to be sleeping in my bed tonight.
During our 2 hour drive home, I kept looking at my cellphone and quickly saw something about a shooting but now that I got home I looked it up to read about it. Apparently, this morning there was a shooting in Houston, Texas. This was an unprovoked shooting near a gas station and because of it two people are dead, six wounded.
It saddens me every time I read or hear news about another shooting. Here I was coming back home feeling happy, when I read about another shooting. When will someone put a stop to this? A stop to people being allowed to go around carrying guns and shooting other people?
I feel bad being so ignorant as to think nothing bad happened this weekend, just because I didn’t hear anything had happened. It’s a horrible thing hearing about this and I just think about the families affected by 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.
