What happened within this player’s skull
I read this article a couple of days ago and I can’t stop thinking about it. It gave me a better understanding of my brain injury and why they tell me I have to avoid any sudden movements of my head, like on a rollercoaster. For some reason I just thought I couldn’t hit my head and while I still shouldn’t get massive hit to the head, hard movements of my head, which make the brain move may be more dangerous.
It gave me a little bit of chills seeing the image of the brain moving to show what goes on during a concussion and it’s a little hard to believe that my brain did that. Such a complicated thing with so much information shouldn’t move around, things can break or get lost. (In my case, a lot of things got lost and I still can’t find them.)
Scientists are still just trying to understand the most complicated computer ever built, the human brain and I’m glad to see that they continue to learn more everyday.

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.
