Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You don't want to be an accountant, it's boring!
How I responded:
It's never boring when you have the opportunity to work with such a diverse group of people, in a client facing role and when you are connected and working with people from across the globe. No two days are the same in my profession. Things are always changing and there are always new challenges.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
Embrace the change that college/university brings and throw yourself into it. Things will be daunting and uncomfortable but this is what is needed for you to learn most.
