I just finished a job interview. I wont say where, or what the job was, but it went well, or at least I think it went well. At least it went better than my last interview. Here I was calm and comfortable. Before the interview I was very nervous, during the interview I felt calm, … Continue reading Another interview

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.
It's old news, but I get so happy every time I see it. This was when I realized, after the accident, that I had been accepted at Newhouse to do my masters in journalism. I had gotten the letter of acceptance before the accident, but I didn't remember. I still don't remember getting it, my … Continue reading When I realized I was accepted
I didn’t get called back after that fist interview I went to, but at least I know what to expect at an interview. I got one other response, they wont be interviewing until the beginning of September, but at least I got a response. They want people because they are opening the business so everyone … Continue reading No call back, still looking
I just spent the whole day walking. I was wearing very comfortable shoes, and I didn't feel tired; until I stopped walking. That's when it hit me. I was exhausted, I felt it as soon as I sat down in a very comfortable chair in my grandpa and grandma's house. There was a lot of … Continue reading I was walking all day, now get ready for lazy Sunday
I have been conscious during my last two seizures and since then I've wanted to explain what I feel during the seizures, I just didn't know how to explain this or if my descriptions would make sense to anybody. But today I found an article, which describes what happens and what people may feel during … Continue reading If I can’t speak, I’m tired, everything hurts and I don’t understand why; it means I had a seizure
There is somewhere I can put my college education and writing experience to work. I fixed and sent my resume and portfolio between last night and this morning. I have big dreams and I work hard. I feel like I am writing a commercial for myself but I'm just trying to stay positive while I wait to … Continue reading Dream big
I just Googled group job interview to read what job seekers are looking for, or see if I did anything wrong or when I should hear back from them. When I googled that, my blog post from yesterday was the second result that came up. I don't know if that came up on my computer … Continue reading I found my blog post on Google!
I had a job interview this morning. I was already nervous, and to add to this, it was a group interview. All the other applicants were hearing what I said, and even thought they were very nice, I couldn’t help comparing myself to them; and I’m sure they were all doing the same. I have … Continue reading First round of interviews- Done
This is another reminder of why I started my blog. I had to start somewhere, and who knows when I will get the chance to be a journalist or a writer.
I cannot believe that just 70 years ago today a nuclear bomb was dropped in Hiroshima, Japan. I have heard the story from family, movies, and class, that a nuclear bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. I don’t think I have ever read an article about it. I have never read exactly as it happened, and … Continue reading Even though I’m not Miss Universe, we really need World Peace
Thank you all so much for taking the time to write letters for me. I'm not sure but I think I still have them. 😊💚
Two years ago, more than a year after it all happened, but still too recent to learn how to deal with it and let go; especially for me. 8/4/13 People tell you to relax, to take it easy, but when they are in a similar situation they get really worked up too. It’s not fair. … Continue reading Just learn to let go and move on
I don't know where it is so I haven't placed it anywhere.

Who were these horrible people criticizing my home? I decided to read it and find out what they were saying. … Continue reading Read this article, you’ll want to visit
Today I went to the mall. I didn’t go shopping. I was looking for a job, and getting some air conditioning.

I filled out a few applications, left my resume in … Continue reading And the job search continues
