I’m thankful for my family, my friends, the opportunities I’ve been given, and for being here today. Thank you all for reading and being a part of my journey to be a writer. I’m thankful for the process I have been through, for making me the woman I am today and for everyone who has been there with me. I’m thankful for everyone hanging on with me as I pursue my dream even through the difficult times.
Now I would like to make an announcement to everyone who celebrates Christmas: it is now ok to start decorating. Bring on the trees, lights, decorations, Santa, nativity sets, everything. Now it’s time for the music, food and all de holiday spirit.
I just wish that we can all celebrate this holiday season with our family, friends and other loved ones in peace. I know that it can be a hard time, but let’s all try to enjoy it, bring happiness to others. Let’s all enjoy this time, happy and nice to others. Maybe we can keep this going for the rest of the year if we start now.
And please be kind on Black Friday, a large TV on sale isn’t worth a fight. Now, let Christmas time begin!
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.
