SPOTLIGHTING ALUMNI
1. What and where are you currently studying?
I am currently in my second year of college, studying Applied Chemistry at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.
2. Why did you choose to study at ASM?
3. Did the curriculum prepare you for continuing your studies at your current university?
The curriculum at ASM proved to be a great preparation not just for my field of study at university, but for any field of study because it prepared us to learn through reasoning and active thinking, something which I think is missing in most schools. The curriculum is well-made and allows students to get a good understanding of everything they study.
4. What skills or knowledge did you gain at ASM that you found most useful?
Some of the most useful skills I acquired at ASM were doing the research activities properly and writing the essays effectively. I also appreciate learning how to cite sources instead of unintentionally plagiarizing, something I am using a lot at university.
5. What advice would you give to a student who is thinking about joining ASM?
Do it if you want a good learning environment that will prepare you for your future endeavors. You can’t make a mistake by joining ASM. It is worth it.
6. Any fond memories from ASM that you would like to share?
I have many fond memories from ASM. I loved the different holiday celebrations and our involvement in helping with the organization. A moment I’ll always remember and be grateful for is the warm welcome after me and my classmate Matea won first and second place in the regional chemistry competition in 2019, when the teachers and staff congratulated us on our achievement with a beautiful chocolate cake.
