Everything started in the first year in high school-it might be the sophomore year in American high schools. Deciding the major I wanted to choose and apply for was hard. I once wanted to choose a major about media, but my mom said it was not good for Chinese to learn in America. Art? My mom thought I won’t get stable income. Math? I would lose my hair! Environmental science? I didn’t want to see the terrible insects. Engineer or Computer? It made me uncomfortable  to learn extensively about different sophisticated computer systems.Since I found I did well in my AP calculus and microeconomics exam, I thought the area of business is the best choice. Then I did the research with my mom. We found that people with the knowledge is highly demanded all around the world, so do China and America, and can’t yet be replaced by electronic devices. Moreover, many of the skills needed for learning about accounting belong to the subjects that I’m good at, which brought me confidence. Therefore, I chose accounting as my major.

Now, as a student, I still have a long way to go, working hard to gain accounting knowledge and skills and training myself to do better in my major, before getting to work in practice. After knowing about the basic concepts of accounting,  I am already willing to and prepared to take challenges in following steps in schools and workplaces and have a great longing for a bright future of my further education and occupation: I will try my best to learn about accounting and do the best as I can. Since accountants are needed by all the companies in all areas, what inspire my enthusiasm is that I can work with what I have learnt for my interested industries like fashion and media. I was impressed by those two industries when I was at primary school and started to learn deeply about them at high school. I began to read the magazines, watch the documentaries about a brand, a trend, a talented person, or even a kind of techniche. I admit some words that those two industries are sometimes costly, but I totally disagree with some people’s prejudice that fashion and media are totally unnecessary. Using money wisely in these areas can have large positive effects to the society and people’s minds and lifestyles. This is also what I want to put effort on.  Because of my interests, I will spend all my efforts to make the anything that I work with become better.

Actions speak louder than words. Having the reason and the promotion of choosing accountancy as my major, I will not stop improving myself: I will work hard, hoping to make achievement in both education and occupation.
