I had my first sewing experience last month when I made my dogs two feeding placemats for their water and food bowls. I talked about this in an two earlier blog posts, My first sewing experience and I made my dogs a present. The second was poster on my other blog, My dogs and me.
It was kind of a nightmare for me and I said I wouldn’t do that again, but turning this,
into this,
felt very good and gave me a little more confidence.
When my aunt, who was the mastermind, my teacher and support of this project, told me she had fabric to make a cushion I really couldn’t say no. Even though I was scared I gave it a shot, what was worst thing that could happen?
The cushion was a lot easier than my first project, maybe because I had a little more experience, not a lot, but a little or maybe because it was just sewing in straight lines. Either way I was able to make a cushion which is something I never thought I would say and it actually looks good.
I just hope my dogs don’t find it and destroy it because I worked really hard and I’m proud of myself for being able to make a cushion.

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.
