Too Young to Be a Headliner

Name:
Location: Orlando, Florida, United States

I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico with spina bifida. After living there for almost three years, my parents and I moved to Orlando, where I have lived ever since. I am a college student whose dream is to be a broadcast journalist, and I love to speak French. I am also fluent in Spanish.

Hi there, everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I have started a new group on Yahoo! called "Laura's Challenge Foundation." Of course, seeing as I don't have the connections nor the resources to start a non-profit organization, the web site means little right now.

But you can help by joining my group and by sending the link to others who might be interested in helping me out.

I may have mentioned before that I would love to start a foundation for physically-challenged kids and adults. That won't happen unless I can recruit several kind-hearted, dedicated people who will assist me in the cause with whatever talents they choose to share.

I am only 21 years of age, and I need people to help me promote, raise funds, and raise their voices.

Please contact me:

Thanks everyone, & God Bless,

As part of my [hopefully] budding journalism career, I often record radio commercials and voice-overs with a company called SunSpots Productions. Currently, I have a bilingual (English/Spanish) demo on their Web site.

I invite anyone interested in hearing my voice to visit the following link:

http://www.sunspotsproductions.com/Voice_talent_detail.cfm?id=196

Engineers at SunSpots are currently working on a new, updated demo for me, which will hopefully include voice ads for the following clients:

*Disney MGM Studios

*Miami Children's Museum

*Shoe Carnival

*Lynx buses

*Public service announcements dealing with teen pregnancy, drunk driving, and HIV/AIDS testing


Please stay tuned to my page, as I will be posting my new demo as soon as it is prepared!

God Bless,

My Dear Friends,

After much procrastination (or after dealing with other responsibilities, like my UCF classes), I have decided to update and maintain my blog, and add a touch of journalistic seriousness. From now on, I will not only use this page to chronicle the mundane occurrences of my life, but also to post essays, poetry, and news articles I have written.

It is my hope that this blog will now serve dual purposes: 1) to express my thoughts, feelings and views liberally and without reserve; and 2) to work in conjunction with my résumé and promote my versatility as a writer.

That being said, if anyone is seriously interested in my writing, and would like to offer me either a job or an internship opportunity, or anything of a journalistic, professional nature, please feel free to E-mail me: LT_FirstAmend@hotmail.com.

Thanks for your support!

Laurita ;-)
