From my childhood, I had been aspiring to become one of the most renowned accountants in the professional aspect. Besides, I had an uncle who had the best knowledge on accounting who often advised me on taking accounting major as my ultimate job.

I am also quite dedicated and often participate in class discussions and team projects.
My reasons for choosing accounting were motivated by the need to explore my best potential in accounting and understand the major guiding principles behind accounting.

In order to serve the best institutions that absorb accountants, I selected accounting as my ultimate job. Furthermore, accountants have been seen to be some of the most successful individuals in my community.

In summary, as an accountant, I have to stick to the principles and regulations that control the behavior of accountants.
