Day one of my new healthy lifestyle went very well. I don’t know if I’m doing this right because I’m not on a diet so I ate my cheeseburger and Ruffles chips with sour cream and onion dip for lunch, but the cheeseburger wasn’t big. I also went to the gym after that, so that’s two days in a row this week, let’s see if a make it to tomorrow.
Now I’m thinking going to the gym everyday would be hard, but my mom reminded me that I was working out for about 3 or 4 hours everyday while I was in therapy. If I could do all that work back then, I can do it now. I’m stronger now, I have more energy, and I don’t have to be afraid of any seizures. I just have to keep thinking about what I will get in the end, that’s what I did in therapy. Those 3 to 4 hours a day would help me move my arms, my legs, walk, run, talk, eat; so I worked on it.
I’m not really looking for as much as I was during therapy, and this time it may seem more aesthetic, I guess, but I need to put as much work into it now as I did before. If I want a change I need to work on it.
Am I tired today? Yes, but I will keep going until I reach my goal.

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.
