Archive > 2021 STEMworks Innovation Internship Recap
“One lesson I learned from this internship is that in order to persevere, we must have grit, and always remember our why. We do not have to know what we are going to do in the future. We just have to take it one step at a time, have an open mind to learn and grow, and be passionate about what we are doing.”
