During the Olympics in London four years ago I was staying at my aunt’s house while we waited for my surgery. I barely remember this but they tell me the games were always on, my uncle would watch them all when he got home after work. I know they were on, but I don’t remember what I saw.
This time, Rio 2016 is just beginning and I’m currently watching the Opening Ceremony. I wouldn’t expect anything less from Brazil; the music, dancing, colors, and the energy. They show the history of Brazil from the Amazon rain forest and the indigenous people, to people dancing in the favelas.
Now I’m waiting to see the Puerto Rican team walk in the ceremony and proudly represent Puerto Rico. I’m excited to see our athletes show the world what were made of. We don’t have a large team but that doesn’t matter, it’s not quantity that’s important, it’s quality.
¡Puerto Rico you voy a ti!

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.
