The night before the storm always feels spooky for me. It’s dark, it’s raining and we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. I’m just calm because I did everything I could to be safe. I think I’m ready for this, now all I have to do is wait and hope for the best.
We have been on hurricane watch in Puerto Rico all day, keeping a close eye on Fiona. As far as I know Fiona is still a Tropical Storm but will be a Hurricane soon. It’s moving at 8 mph so it has given us time to get everything ready before it’s arrival but it has been raining on and off all day.
We don’t know what’s going to happen; the hurricane was going to be over Puerto Rico today, now it’s going to be tomorrow. We don’t know if we’re facing another disaster like Hurricane María back in 2017 or if it will just be rain. We don’t know if we’re going to loose power, when or for how long. Either way, there is no reason to go out tonight or tomorrow. I hope everyone is in a safe place tonight.
Whatever happens tonight and/or tomorrow, I hope everyone is ready and safe.
By everyone I mean people and pets. Don’t forget pets are also part of the family, don’t leave them out in the rain or during the storm. Give them food, shelter and keep them dry. They get scared just like we do.

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.
