As I left class tonight I was very proud of myself for having payed attention during the whole class and very rarely letting my mind drift off. This has been something I am very proud of, as I think I mentioned during the last two weeks.
However, while I was thinking about this as I walked out of the classroom, I didn’t pay attention to where I was going and I got lost in the dark, almost empty building. I walked down stairs, up stairs, left, right, out side, back inside, and I didn’t know where I was. There were people walking by, leaving classrooms but I didn’t want them to know I was lost; that is so freshman year and I am not a freshman anymore; hat was me eight years ago, and I don’t even want to remember it was so long ago.
So I kept walking and I think I walked around the whole building, at 9 p.m. I wanted to make my way back to the classroom to ask the professor how to get out or maybe I could even remember how to get out from there. I felt like I was in a maze.
I didn’t find the classroom but somehow I made it out, not the same way I came in, but I found the front of the building. I think I probably explored the whole building, but I still don’t know where I was or how to get from one place to another, it was dark. I’m just glad I made it out safely, next time I’m paying attention to where I’m going.

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.
