What a day. Today I left my house for the first time in almost two months. At first it was kinda scary but I had to go out, I can’t stay trapped in here forever and I didn’t go anywhere where I would be infected. I just went to my grandparents’ house.
If we wanted to see her on Mother’s Day weekend, it had to be today since we still can’t go out on Sunday in Puerto Rico. I had only talked to them on the phone or video calls but it’s not the same since I usually have lunch with them every weekend.
We took all the safety precautions like keeping distance from one another, wearing our masks, not hugging or kissing, and cleaning everything after we used it. It was only my mom and me so it was easier to keep our distance and we didn’t go into the house. We went in through the backyard and stayed there, under the sun for about three hours. We had lunch we picked up at a fast food restaurant on the way to their house, also in the backyard, away from each other.
It was so hot and sunny I think I got a little tan without intending to, which is good because I’ve spent too much time inside. I don’t know but if there was any coronavirus on anyone of us or any of the food or Mother’s Day presents, it died under the sunlight and heat.
It was so good going outside again, seeing my grandparents, and having lunch with them on a Saturday. It almost felt normal.

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.
