Fighter, motivation

Come on Unstoppable María!

What's even sadder is that this year I never had a job, unlike … Continue reading Come on Unstoppable María!

Last minute interview 

So today I had the guts to ask if they got my application for a job at the gym. They had and the woman I asked actually had it in her hands among other applications. I asked her at the right time because the manager was right there and I was able to sit down … Continue reading Last minute interview 

Fighter, Puerto Rico

One step at a time 

After over a month the boxes my aunts sent my parents to help life after Hurricane Maria finally arrived.

Are you kidding me?
