            My strengths are that I’m a goal oriented person that knows what he wants and looks for a way to get it. I’m a time manager; however, I try to manage time like money and unlike money I can’t be at two places at the same time. Some of my weaknesses are that I’m not organized; thus I often misplace things.

            My academic strengths are in math and science and I truly enjoy them as well. This led me to think of fields that will put to use these skills, I started with science. When I thought science I thought of the medical field specializing in cardiology. The reason I thought this is because my mom has heart related problems and I enjoy to read the work they do. However, I myself wouldn’t like to do them so I went to the math side to see what I could become. I could of became a math professor; however, I don’t enjoy math that well so I thought of what else I liked a lot and this was money. This led me to incorporate business with mathematics and ended in accounting.

            In order to be an accountant I have to have a four year degree in college. I also want to be a CPA this will requirement the degree, 100 hours of work under a CPA and to pass the CPA exam. I hope I become an accountant and I’m doing everything to become one.
