My motivation
I am motivated by my life experiences and by the hardworking people around me.
My latest accomplishments
I was recently indicted into Sigma Beta Delta International Honors Society, and I also received a tutoring certificate.
Next big goal
I plan to attend graduate school to pursue my master's degree in accounting, and from there take the CPA exam so that I can hopefully work for one of the big four accounting firms.
Why is choosing your own path important?
I have always believed in living an independent life since the time I was a child. Growing up, I wanted to achieve great things in life and that's why I work so hard in everything I do. This requires forging your own path.
