This Thanksgiving, was not like any other. Instead of watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, I spent the day watching football (soccer) games, because for the first time the FIFA World Cup is happening in November. This year, it is being held in winter, not summer because of the soaring temperatures in the summer in Qatar, where it is taking place this year..
I always try watch as many games as I can during the World Cup, and this year is no different. So far I have been able to find a way to watch most games, including the four games today. Even while I was the only one in my house interested in watching the games, my family didn’t mind. So far there have been some very surprising games and I do not want to miss anything. Besides, I joined them when the games weren’t on, told them the scores and they joined me sometimes.
I’m very thankful they let me enjoy the games today, but I’m even more thankful I was able to enjoy the day with the people and the dogs I love. I also really enjoyed seeing Portugal and Brazil win.

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.
