I’m almost done with my first project, which has taken como close to 24 hours, of course not all on one day. In this first project I have learned how to make my own map on Google Maps, how to use Streetview and how to watermark photos. This is a lot of work, but I’m pretty sure I’m done with one day to double check everything.

I’m scared once I get to class the professor will tell me I did something horribly wrong or I didn’t do something because I didn’t write it down. It wouldn’t surprise me if that happens, although it would really frustrate me, but right now I think I have done everything I was supposed to do.

See that’s the issue with my TBI, I can’t trust my memory too much. I just had to add something to my project that I almost forgot she told us our map needs, and it’s due tomorrow. She gave us one week to correct it after we brought in our first draft.

But I do feel more comfortable being in the classroom rather than having class online. Being there and knowing when the professor is looking at me, knowing she can see if I’m not paying attention, and not having to wear earphones makes paying attention easier, or at least it forces me to pay attention.

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.
