They always told me that “the more, the merrier”. This principle guided my life for a solid thirteen years. “Well,” I thought, “the more video games I have, the merrier I will be, the more candy I eat, the merrier I will be, the more friends I have, the merrier I will be.” I lived […]

The coveted red hue vanished from under the bedlam of lights and lenses. With that, the last piece of the puzzle went astray. “Ay, Martha, venga aqui!” I exclaimed as I motioned my research mentor to take a look at the slide under the university medical center’s state-of-the-art microscope. She let out a glum sigh.What […]

This is going to be hard to write. I don’t mean I’ll have trouble with the grammar or spelling, or with the composition. I know what I’m going to write and how it’s going to look. The only problem is that this subject is painful to write about. The experiences that have made me who […]
