So, while waiting to develop such an exciting future, there is a man standing on the threshold of high school, where the field of accounting more or less serves for me as a lock-and-key situation. For all the interesting applications of accounting-up on debits, credits, balance sheets-something else dangles my heart. To me, accounting is not merely a profession; rather, it's a channel through which you could make a real change in the lives of youth who are understandably afraid of the so peculiar complications of business and finance. Accounting is not merely for me a definition of number-crunching, but there would be a constructive engagement toward building the opportunities around what I learn in helping to give hope and aspirations to people otherwise put off or intimidated by the repulsion of business.
People go into accounting as a career mainly for good money, but in my case, it is mostly for the love that I have for empowering others. I have seen how dreams can easily be shattered because of sheer ignorance, and I want to change all that. A flow of steady, strong opportunities is in the offing for students of accounting gaining this opportunity for upward progress. Building their confidence to showcase this on the new front desk of their projects, earning and pursuing their dreams as future leaders and not mere weavings of the principles of accounting.
I will, in due season, execute this through several ways. I want to establish mentorship programs aimed at guiding and lifting up students from all walks of life by passing down to them my collective knowledge and experience. I have envisioned workshops and seminars that are specifically designed for demystifying intricate financial concepts and making them appealing. Most importantly, I intend to build an encouragement environment where young people will know they can accomplish those dreams, irrespective of their backgrounds. My final touch on the canvas will be to prove to them that the business world has no gated doors but is a field of possibilities for anyone interested in learning and working hard.
I think of their individual self-discovery in which they would trace the language of business around that and find a place for them within it to pursue careers of their dreams. I want to help them understand that potential and believe in it. I want to fight against self-doubt, inadequacy that so often prevents youth from taking risks needed to chase their dreams. I want to challenge the status quo and start building a future generation of ethical, innovative leaders committed to bringing about positive change.
My aspirations are not for my glory-they are bigger, and at the heart of being an agent for change in mentoring others to unlock that potential. Perhaps I can show the students what they can really do if they put their minds to it. I see instructional materials in the form of online tutorials or easily accessible guidebooks. This will help make financial literacy a skill that everyone acquires. I will try to get schools and community organizations involved in making these efforts far-reaching and able to last. It's my hope that with all these, I may help forge a more just and prosperous future for all, creating one student, one lesson, one dream at a time. My studies in accounting should not be seen mainly as a pathway to a career but be consolidated as the foundation for a future wherein I can genuinely impact change in the lives of people around me.
