I remember when I first learned about Roe Vs. Wade. I was in middle school and we were taught about the importance of this Supreme Court decision making it legal for women to make decisions about their own bodies and have safe abortions if they decided to have one.

After I learned about it, I felt safe because I felt like it was set in stone that if I ever decided or felt the need to have an abortion, I would be able to have a safe one. That was until they started talking about overturning it,but after a while I thought it would never happen. What kind of person would do that? Why would they do that? That was my right because it is my body.

This morning, it happened. I thought maybe I was reading the news wrong but I quickly learned I wasn’t and now all I feel is anger. I keep thinking about the women who have abortions, for countless reasons, which are nobody’s business but their own. How dare they make a decision like that about our bodies and our lives.

They have no right to decide what we women do with our bodies. Today that took away this right, what will be next?

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.
