Just do it. With risk can come great reward. It is important to keep challenging yourself with new experiences so you continue to grow. When I stepped out and accepted unexpected challenges, I learned new things about myself, and you will too.
Best Things about the Program?
I liked how we had the ability to create something that will benefit our community. I was able to be creative and apply things I had learned in class to a real world problem. I was also able to learn to work better as a team and by expand my skills as a leader and team member. Teamwork is so important and can be difficult, but I learned that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. I was able to meet many students from across the country and now consider them friends.
How Participating in AEOP Inspired You to Advance in the STEM Field?
I was already interested in STEM. However, participating in AEOP showed me how STEM changes the world and I gained a deeper understanding for what STEM really is.
