Merry Christmas!!! I hope you all had a great Christmas. On this, the best day of the year, we decided to switch up our tradition a little bit. Instead of the usual Christmas lunch after opening presents we decided to have a delicious Christmas brunch. There were eggs, waffles, bacon, bread, coffee, ham, orange juice, … Continue reading Merry Christmas!

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.
I hope you're all having or had a wonderful and safe Christmas Eve. Enjoy this time to be with the ones you love, those you don't see so often, have fun, and eat, I know I do! This is my favorite time of year, I love the happiness it brings to everyone around me and … Continue reading Have a Happy Christmas Eve!
My presents, the ones I was nervous that wouldn't get here on time, all got here today. After I knew they were here, my worries went away. Then I was nervous because I had to wrap them.

Since yesterday, every time I try to make a phone call or I receive a call, I can't hear anything.

There's less than a week left before Christmas Day and everything is looking great; everyone has the Christmas spirit, everything is decorated and I bought wrapping paper for my presents.

I've been told many times to write things down so I will remember them like for example making a list of what I need from the pharmacy or what I need to tell my doctor. I don't need help with motivation to do things, I need to remember to do them. Sometimes I can't even … Continue reading My to-do lists
I did it, six years ago I learned how to walk again. If you ask me today how I did it I can only say I did it with a lot of hard work and a even more patience. It takes a lot of persistence, desire to move forward and even more faith in yourself. … Continue reading You can get back up again
We're almost halfway into the month of December and I'm really feeling the Christmas spirit.
