What didn't kill me made me the fighter, the strong and brave woman I am today. I thought it was just a saying, but it's true. It's what keeps me going.

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.
We ate turkey; we enjoyed spending time with our family, some of us relaxed, while others fought over things they didn’t need in stores; after being thankful. Most of those didn’t sleep either, which probably made them more cranky and more willing to fight for that one large TV that didn’t fit in their house. … Continue reading This is not the way to start the holiday season
Thanksgiving 2015 is coming to an end. Whether you ate turkey, lechón, Chinese food, or pasta, I hope you had a good day.

As I told my friends on Facebook today, I don't have a job, yet I have to pay student loans. They keep asking for money, but I don't have any. Believe me, I want to be able to pay them.

I want to distract people a little from all the bad news for a little while. It's Sunday, so I want to share this amazing thing that I found on my go to news source; BuzzFeed.

People have different ideas of what epilepsy is and how you control it or how to control a seizure. The truth is, you can't control someone having a seizure, and you shouldn't try. But there are different types of epilepsy, and different kinds of seizures. There are some you don't notice, the are the one's … Continue reading This doesn’t change us
I heard that a few minutes ago in a very inspiring TED talk. I had trouble concentrating on what he said after that, I just kept thinking about it, and he's right. Everyone thought everything was impossible until somebody did it, it's as simple as that. We can all apply it to our own life … Continue reading “Everything was impossible until somebody did it”

We were all chocked when we heard about an attack in Paris. As the night wen't on, we got more details. It was not just one attack, there were 6 terrorist attacks by suicide bombers.

I made it! When the clock hit 8 last night and I took my medicines it was official, I made it 7 months seizure free. I was going to say it was my greatest achievement but that's not true, I think just waking up from a comma is my greatest achievement, and everything after that. … Continue reading Now it’s official!
I was having trouble posting this morning so I will reblog my post. Maybe this way I can share it with everyone.
I have been waiting all week for November 8th. If you remember, October 8 marked my 6 months seizure free, so November 8 marks 7 months seizure free. It won’t be official until tonight, but I’m pretty sure I will make it. If I haven’t had a seizure for 6 months, I don’t think I’ll have one in the next 10 hours and I will make it to exactly 7 months. I have been waiting all week for November 8 so I won’t wait a few hours to star celebrating. Today marks 7 months, today we celebrate.
7 MONTHS!!!!!!!!
Last month I said I got dizzy that night, but it was not just that night, I have been getting dizzy or light headed a lot since then. I feel better if I eat something, but I still think I should tell my doctors just in case. I don’t…
