Ok so I haven’t been writing about my driving anymore because I have just been driving a few times on weekends. It’s been no big deal, but they do trust me with the new car, with supervision of course. I still can’t take a car by myself, but today was another step forward, as I drove at night for the first time.
Let me rephrase that, I drove as it was starting to get dark for the first time since I have been learning to drive again after my accident. It may seem choking that I still haven’t even driven at night and I’m still a little bit intimidated by that, but I liked that today was sort of a training. It was dark enough for the headlights to be on, so I think that counts as night.
I have faced a few of the difficult moments:
Raining- check
Traffic lights not working- check
Sunday drivers- check
Driving at night- check
Driving lessons-check
I don’t think I’ve been in a traffic jam, which is probably that next test I need to pass for people to be sure I can drive alone, but I was more scared of driving when it’s dark and I think I proved that I can do that and was able to face my fear today. Driving at night is as scary as crossing a street at night.

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.
