Frances Rosado Malave is an undergraduate English Literature student at the University of Puerto Rico Rio Piedras campus. Her urge to read in the original language things are written and the potential of translating her own written works lead her to add a second concentration in Modern Languages even if it meant adding a year to her academic sentence. When not on campus she can be found stressing over her work load while she sews, crochets and goes about her daily life like there isn't a deadline creeping up. To her, balance is key and anything can be achieved as long as we are balanced with ourselves and the things we need to do.
