Hi, my name is Cassandra! I am here to help students with applying to college! I wish I would have had workshops like these when I was in school, but that's okay because everything worked out in the end. I have an AS degree and I'm 5 classes away from getting my BA. I'm super excited to get my BA because at one point, I thought it would never happen. I was a Sophomore when I had to drop out for personal reasons, but I came back stronger than ever, which is why my GPA is over a 3.5.
