Ok so it’s been days since I’ve found an internet connection. I’m sitting on the roof of my grandparents’ house and I think I finally got it, probably because it’s 7 am and there don’t seem to be a lot of people blocking the signal.
We’ve been staying with my grandparents because being stuck in the 11th floor all day with two dogs and no water is pretty hard. The generator can’t be on all day in the building to preserve diesel, which is pretty difficult to get right now. People are in line at the gas station and ATM all day and there are only a few places open to eat.
I was so happy yesterday, I had a chocolate Frosty at Wendy’s! That felt like a luxury and we got there right before the line formed.
I have been trying to look at the bright side and stay positive; we have water, food and a roof over our heads (but the toilets are clogged).
I can’t keep using all the power on my phone so I’ll update you more on our status later (when I can find and internet connection again).

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.
