Today I was going to send out job applications, again, but I only sent one. I have a list of places to send my resume and cover letter just hoping they will have something for me. But this process is not easy and does not get easier. I have a new cover letter talking about … Continue reading Sending more job applications

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 have issues, issues with too many people around me. I was at the gym tonight and it was very, very, really full of people. I almost left, but as I was going to get my water bottle I noticed one person leaving, so I stood there for a second and thought, I need to … Continue reading Stop, just think about it before running away
Tonight I joined Team Susie in one of their daily (or nightly) walks. We walked from Miramar, to Condado, and back. I had never joined Team Susie for one of these walks because I thought it would be boring, but it turns out it wasn't. I spent the whole 1:30 talking to one of my … Continue reading Walking with #teamsusie
1/9/2013 Yesterday I woke up in a hospital. I didn’t understand what happened until they told me. Then I understand I had a seizure and that why I dint remember and why I was in the hospital. I was writing, is stopped making sense to me and I went into a seizure. Wow, it's hard … Continue reading That time I had multiple seizures
Last night I saw that it had been four years since I took the GRE, the test that I thought would determine what I would do for the next few years. Taking this test opened a lot of doors for me, but now I can't believe I was able to take this test, which helped … Continue reading That time I took the GRE
I forgot to make my 9 months poster, but here it is.
YES, it’s been 9 months since my last seizure, 9 MONTHS! I’m only 3 months away from making it a year without seizures. Nine months is a lot; babies are born in this amount of time. I’ve completed a whole school year without seizures. That’s 3 less months than the 12 months that make a … Continue reading Look at me world, controlling my epilepsy
Yesterday I was doubting myself. I didn't think I would write about my grades on my blog. I have never been one to share my grades with people, but then writing about it was the only way I could put my feelings of disappointment into coherent words, and get it all out. Every time I … Continue reading Thank you to all my readers
Today I got some pretty bad news, I didn't want to share this, but I need to get it out of my system. I won't give any details because I really don't feel very comfortable putting it all out there, but I didn't do very well on my final project for the online class I … Continue reading Should I follow my dream?
Happy Three-Kings Day! As the holiday season ends with the New Year for a lot of people, it still has a few more weeks for some of us. Today we are celebrating Three-Kings Day, the day that represents the three kings, or three wise men that visited and brought gifts after the birth of Jesus. … Continue reading Happy Three-Kings Day/ Feliz Día de Reyes
Today I began the day by writing a cover letter for another job application, the first one on the year. After sending the cover letter and resume I went to the gym for my first workout of the year. After I got home and had lunch I decided to do laundry, another first to 2016. … Continue reading 2016’s firsts
It's hard to believe it's 2016, but it's here. It's election year, and if we thought 2015 was intense with politics, this year will be crazy. This year brings a lot of hope, just like every January. I hope things will be better. Every January I think will be better than the one before, but … Continue reading Hi 2016!
Ten months ago I decided I wanted people to read what I was writing, so I started a blog. I thought I would only write a few times a month, and just so people close to me could read it, I didn't think anyone else would be interested. But people were interested, so I kept … Continue reading Good bye 2015
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 13,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many … Continue reading 2015 in review
So I just handed in my final paper. That's it, my first grad school class is officially over. I'm done, I can relax and enjoy my vacation, except... I still have to worry about my grades. My grade on my paper and my final grade on the class. But that doesn't matter now, what matters … Continue reading First Class: Done!
