Snippets About Me

Hello!

My name is Cassie Atwell. This is my second semester at IUPUI after transfering from Purdue. So far I love IUPUI and have had really great professors. My major is English Education and I love it! When I attended Purdue, I studied Health Sciences in hopes of eventually becoming a Physical Therapist, but quickly realized my true passions lied else where.

I love literature, especially British. One of the classes I am in this semester focuses on domesticity through literary working of 19th century female authors. The class' content fascinates me, especially when comparing the female characters of those books, with women today.

I'm also currently enrolled in an editing class, which I suprisingly really enjoy. I would love this summer to work parttime as an editor for the newspaper in my town.

I work as a server at O'Charley's and volunteer as a tutor at two schools near my house. When I am not at school, working, or reading, much of my time is spent riding my horse.

I own two mares (female horses). Katie, who is retired at twenty-four years old  and serves as a baby sitter for Evie, who is six. I have owned Evie for two years where I found her in Kentucky, where she had currently been racing. Now I compete her in Eventing. (Check out my power point to find out what Eventing consists of.) For me riding releases my stress and has been part of my life for about ten years. It is so much more than a hobby for me, it is a passion.
