I’m exhausted tonight, but it’s okay because it was a great day. Today being this tired means I had a great time.
I got the chance to get away and enjoy this long weekend away from San Juan at my family’s beach house. It has been so long since I have been to the beach it didn’t feel like summer, it felt like there was something missing. I knew what it was, I knew I had to go to the beach but it seemed impossible every week, until now.
I think I have talked about coming here before and I love it because coming here means going to the beach. Today we rented a boat to go to the beach, where it only took three hours to get a painful tan.
We went up a canal where the current was so strong my arms and legs hurt from pushing against the water but floating back down the canal made all the effort worth it. That, trying to float for as long as I could without getting water in my face and trying to stay dry while we were on the boat were all the work I did today.
It was a beautiful day, really hot, but beautiful which started off great and ended just as great with some fried fish and sorullitos, which were delicious. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the weekend has in store for us but I’m looking forward to it.

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.
