I’ve had a pretty busy couple of weeks for different reasons and in addition to that it’s been very, very hot here in Puerto Rico, like you’re still sweating while the air conditioner is on. Today I think I reached my limit and I started working out, doing the same video I have been doing for half an hour every day. Even though it was very hot, I decided to keep going doing all the workouts on the video which took an hour.
It may not make any sense considering how tired I was and how hot it was but I just couldn’t stop. I needed to be distracted and not think about how angry I was about something that had happened hours earlier. Something that, no matter how hard I push myself to do every day and always do, no matter how tired I am, I was criticized today for not doing.
I was angry for being treated like a lazy person when I am not. I will not be criticized for not completing one task when I always do. I won’t rely on my disability as an excuse because I don’t have to make an excuse. I work hard, maybe harder than I should so I don’t have to say I have a disability, so nobody says it’s because of my past. Maybe I don’t finish something in time, but that doesn’t mean I won’t or I have to be told the same thing 10 times. I’m unstoppable.

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.
