My name is Ashley Stewart and I am a student at Old Dominion University majoring in sociology. I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and after much moving around, I finally settled in Virginia where I currently reside. I love to travel and plan to travel to many states and countries after I graduate college. Although talking about me and my personal life is not my favorite, I do enjoy learning and discussing with other people about their lives and experiences. Some hobbies of mine include photography, playing an instrument, and working out. Everyday is new opportunities and I love to get involved to learn new things and that is mainly the reason why I joined the Army National Guard. Going to school and being involved in extra curricular activities was also something I have done, but this time I wanted to have purpose in what I was doing as well as grow as an individual, therefore, I decided joining the Army was a great option. I am a hardworking, passionate, and dedicated individual who sees each day as another reason to change something in the world to make it better.

The Purpose of the e portfolio?

 Everyone seeks development and progress in their writing whether it is understanding how to transition from paragraph to paragraph effectively or it is finding a new way to capture the reader’s attention. This e portfolio is a tool to show you how I have transitioned my writing skills over time and the progress that I have made. I have provided various writing assignments that will help you see the progression and shift in writing style.
