Thank you for visiting my blog!

I intentionally named this ePortfolio “Cassandra’s Trails and Trials” for a variety of reasons, but mainly because I love running. In high school, I ran cross country for five years, and it taught me a great deal about life. Winning the “race” is unnecessary as long as you enjoyed following new paths to adventure. You will stumble at some point; and, though you can never control the elements, you can change your perspective by using them to your advantage.

This portfolio seeks to do just that: highlight my experiences in STEM Exploration and Engagement Scholars; my time at Ohio State; and refine my sketch of my future goals. As a first year Computer Science & Engineering student, I seek to employ the G.O.A.L.S. of the Honors & Scholars program to make me more employable. Throughout this race, I hope to try different “paths,” finding one which couples my desire to encourage other minorities and make the world a more efficient place through technology. I will be documenting Artifacts (symbols) that have contributed to bends in my paths. Towards the end of the year, I will reflect on what I have learned, taking in the scenery of where I have ended up, but setting new goals for the year ahead. Please leave me comments and enjoy the journey!
