ABOUT ME
I started my college journey in 2002 during that time I was taking care my newborn, working full time plus overtime, and going to school at night. Although it was hard I pushed my way through and I graduated from Community College of Philadelphia (CCP) with an Associate Degree in Business in 2005. It was my dream then to continue my education and transfer to Temple University and major in Accounting, however; at that point I was working 50 hours a week to save for my first home and taking care of my first born. I decided to put my dreams on hold. So in November of 2012 I decided to finally go back to school and go after my dream of becoming an accountant!
I’m now an undergraduate at Temple University Fox School of Business majoring in Accounting!
I chose to an accountant because I love working with numbers. After some research I found that in comparison to other careers with equivalent levels of pay and prestige, the path to a career as an accountant is relatively short only needing a four year college degree. I also found that Accountants usually work regular hour with evenings and weekends off excluding tax season. Relatively short entry path, excellent pay, and regular hours made becoming an Accountant the best fit for me being a 32 year old, a full time employee, a wife, and a mother of 4 boys.
