My presents, the ones I was nervous that wouldn’t get here on time, all got here today. After I knew they were here, my worries went away. Then I was nervous because I had to wrap them. Without even thinking about it, I quickly looked for some YouTube videos about how to wrap presents, which looked so easy that after watching two videos I felt like I was ready.
So I started wrapping and everything was fine until I realized I hadn’t cut enough paper to wrap the whole present, I was missing one side. On the bright side, I still had a lot of paper left. I realized that next time I had to think about how much paper I was going need before I cut in or it would look like a collage.



From then on I used more paper, sometimes I had a little too much paper but it’s better to have more and cut it than to not have enough. I used some of the tricks I learned from YouTube for folding the edges. I wasn’t trying to show off or anything, I just wanted to hide how sloppy I cut the paper.
I also managed to make a bag out of the paper I had left for the last present. I have to say that was my best work today and I even used a bow to make it look more professional. So four days before Christmas and all my presents are here and they’re wrapped. Now I just have to figure out where to put them so Indy and Sandy don’t get to them and destroy any of the hard work I did today.

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.
