An update on what’s been going on in Puerto Rico: Naming Pedro Pierluisi governor was inconstitucional so he has to go. Now that that’s taken care of, our new governor is the ex Secretary of Justice, Wanda Vazquez. No one wants her because of many reasons but according to our constitution sadly, she is next in line so she has to do it.
She will only be governor for a short time but, as we just learned, it doesn’t take a long time to do a lot of damage. We still don’t know if she will stay for the 17 months left in her term or if she will name someone to take her place. As Secretary of Justice has done shady things like deliberately delaying investigations into members of her own party so we don’t really trust her to be a good governor.
In my last post I said we had to just wait and see if we had to go back out and protest and turns out we didn’t, it only took five days to get him out. Now for Wanda I don’t know what we should do. There are already people protesting outside La Fortaleza, the governor’s mansion. She has to be careful because we’re all watching her and if we have to go back to protest then we have to go.
Now can we please fast forward to January 2021 and just have a governor who is competent, prepared, honest and cares about Puerto Rico instead of him or herself?

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.
