Last week was an exciting week for Puerto Rico, our own Monica Puig was the first Puerto Rican to win a gold medal in the Olympics. We are still celebrating this amazing moment, but we have to remember that Rio 2016 is not over yet, we still have athletes in Brazil giving it their all to achieve their dreams and to make us all proud.
Four of our runners were competing today in track and field for their chance to shine. Celiangely Morales completed de 200 meters in athleticism in 23 seconds, breaking her personal record. Grace Claxton, Javier Culson and Erick Alejandro are all competing in the semifinal for 400 meter hurdles.
Come on boricuas, keep showing the world what were made of! We are all very proud of our athletes and can’t wait to see more. Today I spent the whole day watching the Olympics, watching athletes from all around the world and I hope they all feel as proud as we do in Puerto Rico.
In other news, I’m starting to feel nervous because my class starts next week. I hope I can do this! Rio 2016 has kept my mind occupied so I haven’t been able to think about the class that much, we’ll see what happens next week when this is over and it’s time to go to class.

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.
