Today I have another reason to celebrate, this time I’m celebrating because yesterday was my birthday. I always love my birthday no matter how old I am. I still feel like a child when it’s my birthday; this year I had to act like an adult because I was at work but my boss and coworkers still surprised me with chocolate cake.

Since my birthday this year was on Friday, I got a full birthday weekend, which is always great.

I feel so lucky to have so many people in my life, near and far away, who took a little bit of time to just wish me a happy birthday. I think I thanked everyone but thanks again, my friends and family are awesome! It’s great to know you are surrounded by so many great people, those you have known all your life and those who you haven’t known for long.

The birthday is not over so let’s keep celebrating!

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.
