Personal Narrative: Why I Love Accounting

Decent Essays
The truth is, that I never really knew if I wanted this. I just thought that I liked it. Why? well, I love math, but when I finally get to know what this profession is really about… I finally see that it’s not what I want. I notice my first year of college while taking quantitate methods… Yeah! I liked it, but it wasn’t my thing, I mean I always understood everything, I did my homework, and I studied for my tests. But there was still I voice inside my head that kept telling me “This isn’t what you really want” “You can do so much more”. But the problem was I didn’t know what I wanted. So… I just kept telling myself “You will like it eventually”.

But I Kept telling myself again “You will like it eventually”. But ‘eventually’ never happened. I kept doing my assignments, and telling everybody “Yeah! I love Accounting” (which was a complete LIE) But I said it, hoping that one day I could finally mean it. One thing I haven’t mention is that the one thing that I knew I wanted was, to work in something related to business. I studied ALL the majors offered at my college. And I said “Oh, yeah I like this, and that…oh and that one too”

I like helping people, things that I do when the opportunity comes
I like studying people, see how they act in different circumstances, what they like to do and see what I can do for them.

My first thought was “How, the things on this list, help me to find a major that I like on Business administration?”. I never thought that I couldn’t find it on my own. I needed an extra hand to help me.

At this point in college, all I wanted, was to end my semester and then the other one and the next one…and so
