With the help of my friend Susie, who told me all the steps I should to start taking to make Unstoppable Maria even more unstoppable, I woke up early this morning with all the energy to begin doing this. I plan to take Unstoppable Maria, which began as a small blog on Word Press, to the … Continue reading We’re growing

I want to talk about another movie that really surprised me, Joy. I really wasn't sure what it was about, people kept telling me it was about a mop, which confused me more, but Bradley Cooper was in it so of course I wanted to see it. It turns out that it's not about a … Continue reading The Joy of creativity
After I proved to myself I could work out with a lot of people around me, I went to the gym at probably it's busiest time of the day, 7 p.m. Not only was it busy, but it closed in 2 hours, at 9, so I rushed through the routine, one exercise after the other … Continue reading Are you kidding me?
I have issues, issues with too many people around me. I was at the gym tonight and it was very, very, really full of people. I almost left, but as I was going to get my water bottle I noticed one person leaving, so I stood there for a second and thought, I need to … Continue reading Stop, just think about it before running away
Tonight I joined Team Susie in one of their daily (or nightly) walks. We walked from Miramar, to Condado, and back. I had never joined Team Susie for one of these walks because I thought it would be boring, but it turns out it wasn't. I spent the whole 1:30 talking to one of my … Continue reading Walking with #teamsusie
Yesterday I was doubting myself. I didn't think I would write about my grades on my blog. I have never been one to share my grades with people, but then writing about it was the only way I could put my feelings of disappointment into coherent words, and get it all out. Every time I … Continue reading Thank you to all my readers
Ten months ago I decided I wanted people to read what I was writing, so I started a blog. I thought I would only write a few times a month, and just so people close to me could read it, I didn't think anyone else would be interested. But people were interested, so I kept … Continue reading Good bye 2015
So I just handed in my final paper. That's it, my first grad school class is officially over. I'm done, I can relax and enjoy my vacation, except... I still have to worry about my grades. My grade on my paper and my final grade on the class. But that doesn't matter now, what matters … Continue reading First Class: Done!
First, I want to take tonight's blog to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope you got to spend time with those friends and family that are near as well as those who are not; even if it was just via a phone call or text message. Wherever you are, I hope you all had … Continue reading Merry Christmas/ Feliz Navidad
Today, Monday September 21, 2015, I want to share something I wrote on Monday September 16, 2013. 9/16/13 Enjoying that exciting moment when I’m about to finish the first book I’ve been able to finish reading since my accident. It’s just the little things that help me see how much I have improved. And that … Continue reading #motivationmonday
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
Never say this is too hard, I’m tired, I don’t want to try anymore, this is not fair, I quit. All those thoughts ran through my mind once or twice in the past few years, but I never let them stay there. That’s just what they were, random thoughts. The one’s that stuck around and … Continue reading I thought this was only gonna be a once a week thing, but why limit myself?
Here are my last memories from 2012. I still am very proud of all of this as I read it again and I still remember how tired I was after taking just a few steps, but it was all worth it. 12/11/12 So from what people tell me I’m getting better very soon. They say … Continue reading All this made me who I am today and just like I didn’t quit then, I wont quit now
After I woke up from the coma, I was taken to a rehab center. When I left the rehab I couldn't return home to Puerto Rico until I got surgery in my cranium again, so we went to my aunt's house in New Jersey. While I was in New Jersey I started writing everyday so … Continue reading First memories of 2012
