I just saw this today, after a little more than 3 years. I had heard there was a sticker but I hadn't seen it or beleived it was still there. Like the sticker, I have held on and been strong for three years.

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 didn't remember that I was capable of sharing my thoughts three years ago. I barely remember that time, I was still in rehab. When I said I was going home, I wasn't; I was going to my aunt/godmother's house. It was the closest thing to going home at that moment. First of all I … Continue reading The spelling didn’t matter, it’s the thought and I could think.

There’s that exciting moment during your senior year in high school when you get accepted into a really good school you can’t pay; but it’s ok because you’ll pay it when you graduate in four years. Then those four years go by, and you have to pay those loans. It’s not bad if you have … Continue reading Student loans
There's nothing like waking up and going to the beach. You don't have to stay in a hotel, you just wake up at home and go to the beach, and it's the most relaxing and fun thing in the world.
I was never a morning person. But as of three years ago I am because I have to take my seizure medicine at 8 a.m. I got used to this, now I am the happiest person when I wake up at 8 or 9. My neurologist told me I don’t have to take the medicines … Continue reading Deep down inside, I am still not a morning person
I want to say something... This is something we all need to remember. With everything that is going on around us, I think if we all take a second, look around, calm down, and if we're just a little humble and a little nicer, we would all be a little happier. Peace and love
When my friend Susie told me she was starting a blog, a little after I started mine, I got really excited. I told her I would share her blog on my blog, but I forgot. Every time I see her I apologize and say I’m going to write about her blog this week… I always … Continue reading Someone to Look Up To
Are you bored of looking for a job? Good, because it means I’m not the only one. I have been looking but no one has answered and every time I tell anyone about looking for a job, the answer is the same “there are no jobs”. Why? Why? They can’t say that we don’t want … Continue reading I want and need a job
When I said I was quitting Diet Coke or any other soda, I thought it was going to be really easy. I didn’t even think about it. The first day was really easy; yesterday was not that easy, today… I’ve been lucky to have people watching me. I keep seeing soda everywhere. I want one; … Continue reading I thought this would be easy… it’s not
This morning I read an article about how there are no health benefits from drinking soda. I have heard things like this before but not like this. It does nothing good for you, but has a lot of negative aspects. I started drinking up to 2 a day since my doctor told me I had … Continue reading Today July 12, 2015, I decided to give up Diet Coke or any other kind of soda. Let’s see how it goes
Last night I dreamt I was back in Syracuse University. I'm not sure what was going on but all the students were outside. I was in the quad and a lot of my friends were there. Then it changed and we were all in an apartment, I don't know who's, or why we were there. … Continue reading Finally Crying
Because I have been diagnosed with Epilepsy, I now follow the Epilepsy Foundation on Facebook and I bookmarked the website on my computer. I have found it really helpful because reading their articles helps me understand and know more about my seizures and what causes them. I just read an article titled Stress, Anxiety, Depression. This … Continue reading Epilepsy, I’m kickin your butt!
Seeing our beautiful flag, in the middle of traffic and all of the other things going on every day, just makes the day better. The view of Old San Juan from the beach. Our two castles, El Morro and San Cristobal; and the Capitol. Having beaches with views like this make you thankful for your … Continue reading Photos of San Juan
Acabo de ver esto en Facebook, Y lo quiero compartir porque llevo todo el día llenando solicitudes de empleo. No sé si voy a conseguir, pero si tengo la suerte de conseguir un trabajo, probablemente me den el salario mínimo y tendré que trabajar un número de horas agotador para tener un salario mediocre. Por … Continue reading Devuélvanle el encanto a nuestra isla
