I didn’t think about it, but writing this brings a lot of old feelings back. I can’t help but look back at the last seven years of my life, at least what I can remember of them and the worst moments come to mind. From that very first memory that always makes me sad and those horrible memories coming back today as I try to be happy it has been a roller coaster and it hasn’t always been a fun ride.
From the beginning I knew this ride I had to go on wouldn’t be easy, I had no choice but accept what was happening to me and deal with it. Everyone must have been scared and worried, just like I was, but with help and a lot of support I got to the point where I am now four years seizure free (I don’t know if I need to remind anyone, I just like saying it), I have a job and my own apartment and it feels good to be able to say that.
Seven years really isn’t that long ago, but it really does feel like I left my old life ages ago. These seven years have not been easy, it’s been a lot of catching up to being an adult and I’m finally getting there.

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.
