Got to show a little bit of Puerto Rico to my friends
This weekend two of my friends from college came to visit for a few days. Even though we kept in touch and I saw one of them four months ago in December, we had not spent so much time together in eleven years. However, this didn’t stop us from having great time and reconnecting like no time had passed.
We made jokes and laughed a lot, talked about our lives now, our time back in Syracuse and they even told me more about what happened the night of my accident (I’ll talk about that later).
I was so happy to be able to welcome them to my house and show them where I’m from. We walked around Old San Juan, went to one of the old castles, to the beach, a few of our delicious restaurants and even visited a rum distillery, Ron del Barrilito. They didn’t get to see all of Puerto Rico, but with just a little glimpse of this Island you can see the beauty.

It was sad to say goodbye so soon today but it was the perfect weekend. I’m happy it went well and that my guests were happy because I was really looking forward to this, a relaxed, fun weekend with friends. I’m exhausted and have been resting all day but that just means I had a fun weekend.
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.
