Today we decided to start off the week by taking it easy, no hard labor in the house, just a pretty long trip to Home Depot. This was a new experience, I had been on long expeditions to Home Depot before, but it was never for me, it was always for someone else when they were moving or fixing their houses.
The trip wasn’t that long because we went with our personal contractor, my grandpa and Home Depot is like a second home to him. He knows the perfect parking spots, near the exit because you walk out, go straight to your car and the places to put the shopping carts are right there. There was no wandering aimlessly around the store looking for anything, we had a list and he just steered the shopping cart to the correct aisles to show us where we could find everything.
I just followed the leader because there really wasn’t anything that required my opinion, except for picking a fan for the living room, some lamps and a few other things. I can’t wait to start decorating but I’ll get the chance soon enough; now we’re focusing on getting the plumbing and electricity fixed.
These is still a long way to go, I think, but every day feels like we’re one step closer.

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.
