What do you think Gutenberg would have said if they told him one day we will be able to print objects? He would probably say that was witchcraft, I live in the 21st century and I honestly didn’t get it or think it was possible until I saw it, it was mind blowing. I thought that was still being developed, but I was wrong, these technology has gone so far that they are now able to print things like drawings, skulls and even houses.
That’s right, I said skulls. A skull was printed for a seven years old boy who suffered from a Traumatic Brain Injury. Having two pieces of my skull removed I can understand this boy’s joy that he has a complete head again, doesn’t have to wear a helmet anymore and can be a normal kid again. This can also help make the process so much faster.
I still can’t believe that could be done and I had my skull replaced too, but it wasn’t made by a printer. My new skull took about five months to make.
Here is a video where you can see how 3D printing is used and what it can be used for:
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.
