Hi everyone, my name is Zilola Ashurboyeva, but I usually go by Lola. I’m a junior majoring in accounting and minoring in communication studies. I’m also a part of the Zicklin Undergraduate Honors Program and am working towards its Advanced Business Analysis minor. I greatly value education and have a strong passion for continuous learning.
Currently, I work as a home health aide, taking care of a senior. It can be a tough job and requires one to have compassion and empathy, as the level of care required varies among different patients. However, I do hope to start an internship sometime in the near future and kickstart my career in accounting.
During my free time, I enjoy reading Webtoons and Manhuas, my favorite genres being romance, revenge, and reincarnation. Additionally, I had been binging K-drama series like Perfect Marriage Revenge and Marry My Husband, which also have their own Webtoons, before the semester began. I’ve always loved reading, from books to novels and now Webtoons. One main reason is that it’s a sort of escape from reality for me. I like to imagine myself inside the story and make the impossible possible.
One thing that I really enjoy in my classes is debating. I love reading about a topic and then having heated discussions with my peers about our ideas and perspectives. So, you’ll most likely find me participating a lot during class unless I’m just not having a good day. We had an ambassador from China as a guest speaker at my foreign policy class today, and it was one of the most enjoyable class sessions I’ve ever had. I hope we can continue having great discussions in our literature class and learn from various new perspectives.
In the future, I hope to receive my CPA license and work for one of the Big 4 accounting firms. I’m looking to go into either auditing or tax. I don’t have experience in audit yet. On the other hand, I took a tax class and it was quite enjoyable.
I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone in the class and having fun together.
