Today I finished reading Becoming by Michelle Obama, and I have to say it deserves all the great reviews it got. I was curious about reading it but I honestly didn’t think it would be that interesting because well, I don’t like politics. What’s great about it is, she doesn’t talk about politics, it’s not about that. She wrote a fun book that lets us see who Michelle Robinson is before she was Michelle Obama and First Lady.
She does a great job describing everything about living in the White House, from talking about the people who work there and how she created friendships that still stand to describing how she escaped to celebrate the law that made same sex marriage legal.
From her descriptions of growing up in Chicago to meeting the Queen of England, we really get a sense of her humility throughout those eight years were all eyes were on her and her family. She is a great example for girls to follow and she wants to help girls get quality education, rights and everything else we deserve.
She is a great example for her daughters, young girls and us women still trying to find our way in this world of how perseverance and ambition can get us places we never imagined.

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.
