"At the start of the summer Anastasiya was thinking that she wanted to pursue a purely medical path now she is thinking that she'd like to combine that with research. In addition, she is realizing that as she makes a choice for college she wants to consider what kind of lab the college has."
“ASE had a huge impact on my college career, since I spent the first 3 years of my undergraduate degree working in the lab I had interned at through ASE. On top of my research, my choice of major was influenced by my work at the lab, which has improved my life and led to the career I have today.”
Johnathan is currently a Software Engineer at Google.
“It opened up a world of opportunity I never thought possible. It made me look beyond the hidden veil and dig deep within possible career choices. With the help on my mentor I discovered all that stem fields can offer and it pushed me towards pursuing a career that suits my interests and can have an impact on others. I am extremely thankful for this amazing opportunity that I was given for it changes my life completely. From a lost, unsure girl I became a curious, confident woman. Thank you ASE.”
Valeria is currently a Medical Scribe for Scribe America.
"The highlight of my summer was every time Anika reviewed her progress with the team and showed the engineers how to use the bar-code scanners. No one on the team knew it could be done."
"I was impressed watching how fast Oreana picked stuff up. Tasks that would often take two weeks for many, would take Oreana one day. Plus, she wrote a grant."
"It's been FABULOUS for him personally, as he has been quite shy, so has grown exponentially from this experience. His mentors have been SUPER supportive of him, and he's made additional connections with others his mentors know that have really encouraged him. I think this has also gone a long way toward his maturing into college-readiness for fall, 2017.”
"I am more interested in pursuing computer science in college. I am very interested in business and was planning on a business major with a computer science minor, but now I am seriously considering a double major."
"The internship gave me a pool of knowledge of what career path to take for the future."
"His ASE internship at IBM was a highlight of our son’s high school career. He not only enjoyed the work at IBM, he enjoyed all of you and it was because of his positive IBM experience he has chosen to pursue Computer Science."
“Working with your team has taught me a lot about what science is really like. Before, my only experience with science has been classroom-based – where all the data makes sense… But I can see that that is not the case.”
“The most important lesson would have to be on the sheer scope of knowledge, known and unknown. The skills I’ve learned will help me throughout life, but the change to my perspective will affect me for years.”
