I made it another year! I’m five years seizure free! This would be a great reason to go out for dinner to celebrate and we have on past years but sadly we can’t this year. The best and safest way to celebrate is staying home but this doesn’t stop me from being incredibly happy!
Five years may not seem like much but it’s a lot when you’re talking about being able to control abnormal activity in my brain. It’s something that sounds and seems so abstract because it can’t be seen but it’s there. That’s the scariest part, not knowing when it’s going to wake up.
It’s still there even when it’s under control but today, more than ever because right now it’s the longest I’ve controlled it since I was diagnosed. I love the feeling I have every night before I go to bed and I realize I survived another day without a seizure.
It’s nice to have at least one thing to celebrate during this quarantine. We all needed to hear something positive right now so I hope this can be a positive thing you hear today. I’m going to do my best to make it to six years!

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.
