A few months ago I didn’t think my family would get our traditional New Year’s Eve celebration at the beach. I thought that was ruined this year, but we made it here, we’re just waiting for the rest of the family.
Even though I haven’t celebrated anything this holiday season like I usually do, Thanksgiving and Christmas were great and better than I ever expected. In September I thought Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve would all be canceled in Puerto Rico after two hurricanes.
Over thee months after this tragedy and we are still fighting to get our island back to what is was, but we have to keep our spirits up, enjoy time with family and welcome a new year which hopefully will be better.
I’m also happy to say that we will welcome 2018 with my dogs, who are very excited to be at La Parguera.

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.
