September, you have been good to me in the past, you brought me back home during the most difficult time of my life. I am looking forward to what you will bring me this year, but I hope it's something good, like a job.

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.
This is what I wanted three years ago. Apparently I got distracted by a lollipop and I wanted the world to know this. I still have to be cured, but it's not as easy as it sounds. It's not a cold, it's not a headache. I still need help and I … Continue reading Keep calm and you will get better

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.
