Much of my passion for business has come from my father, my role model, who navigated upheavals from a junior high dropout to a self-educated man to a successful business leader. Despite overwhelming adversity, he quitted his safe job at a state-owned enterprise years ago and industrialized his patents. From him, I picked up an unparalleled love for business, an unyielding will in front of difficulty, and above all, a respect for challenges, which are all wrought into a personality perfectly suited to the volatile arena of finance.
Eager to test my muscles in business, I had spent a considerable portion of college years in business practices and competitions. For two years, I have been deeply engrossed in the year-long international

I worked in the Corporate Finance Department----business plan and analysis team. It is the first time for me to realize the importance of rigorous accounting process to a successful company and to feel interested in this very challenging job. The experience of working with so many talented and experienced professional accountants makes me decide to start my career as an accountant. The fast development of modern business has made the accounting a very dynamic field in which regulations and accounting methods change very fast. Since the financial accounting language is becoming more complex and the worldwide accounting practices changes rapidly, the field is in great need for new practitioners.
I was not completely satisfied with my undergraduate career because my GPA was only 3.48. Although, I have achieved remarkably good performance during my freshman and sophomore year, my junior and senior year were not a reflection of my ability to do well academically. I do not think they were a reflection of my potential as well. The reason behind all this was I was not sure I have chosen the right career for me. I was not sure accounting would be suitable for me.
In addition to academic initiatives, I have been well aware that to be a successful business leader, I must be equipped with skills to command large teams and events with aplomb, convey myself effectively to the public and media, seek benefits from differences, sustain long-term
Ever since I was little I have aspired to be something great in life, a chef, a pro. soccer player, and an artist. I still hold on to those dreams in hopes they will come true. All of these dreams shape who I am today. I play soccer for “Charlotte Soccer Academy” and previously for the “Waddell Soccer Team”. Both have kept me being a team player and a stronger leader. I go to visual arts camp over the summer and try to use creativity at any moment possible. I love making cupcakes and baking which also allow me to be creative. I have finally realized that all of these dreams originated from my family. I pursued soccer, like my parents did throughout their lives. I continue drawing, like my mother and father did until it became their life and jobs. I am still love making cakes and cupcakes every weekend, just like how i've seen my grandmother make them. Life has a very strange and mind-boggling way of turning out. I know that sounds cheesy, but it is really true.
What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.
I’m always fascinated by the stories of successful entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and Elon Musk the founder of Tesla and Space X. It is not only because of they are famous but also because they found their investors who contribute to their success and have the right to take part of it. The curiosity of finance drags me into the field of commerce and investment. Finance, a comprehensive study, requires the ability of mathematics and understanding of the economic environments which are my two favorite subjects since I was in year 11. I got my first chance to access to the field of finance in 2017 through two internships: at China Everbright Bank and Nuoyuan Holdings, a subsidiary of Hanfor Holdings. Getting to

Accounting is the study of how businesses track their income and assets over time.

To over view the knowledge we learnt from accounting theory and practice, the main thing I can conclude that is the tendency of accounting will shift away from technical way to people’s behaviour way. By understanding what should do, we should ask why and how we could improve and change it into a better way. This essay aims to explain how the theoretical material that we learn in lectures can be developed under a real practical manner.

The three things that have made the biggest impact on and have influenced my life that shaped me into the person I am today are family background, experiences from my school year, and religious beliefs. Our culture provides a lens through which we view the world and interpret our everyday experiences. In order to know who I am today, I must look at who you’ve been. Many educators around the country are interested in developing a multicultural approach in their teaching. They find themselves in classrooms with 25 children of varying racial and cultural backgrounds, and are looking for ways to connect what they do in the classroom to the cultures represented by their students. Before we can begin to understand others, however, we need to understand ourselves and what we bring to our interactions with others.

A person’s life is a journey filled with bumps, detours and dead-ends while the route is shaped by the people, places and experiences that litter the path. It does not matter if a person graces your life for a moment or for a lifetime, each one helps guide our destination by helping define who we are and who we will become. These relationships bring us the many tools that we will need along the way. My parents and friends have given me great roadside assistance by teaching many ethical principles. Because of them, honesty and acceptance are two core values of mine that will be tremendous assets in a future business career.

Accounting is the language of business. It is a profession that is being guided by principles, concepts, conventions, laws, etc. All these fundamental building blocks serve as common and general compasses to all practitioners of the profession. In some cases, they are nation-wide tailored, while in other cases, they are universally tailored. Accounting as a living, practical, dynamic and realistic profession covers so many areas of social, economic (business), and governmental activities.

Many of the human endeavours for which the accounting profession plays significant (some times inevitable) roles include; Banking, Insurance, Manufacturing, Farming Contracting, Oil and Gas, Mining, Transportation (Air, Land and Sea), Educational Institutions, Churches, Ministries, ICT, Hire Purchase, Local Government Authorities, Estate Businesses, Export and Import Businesses, Bill of Exchange Transactions, Royalties Transactions, Consignment Transactions, Stock Market Transactions, Sports, Entertainment, Hospitals and Hospitality Industry, etc.
Prior to attending the Business Internship course, my knowledge and understanding on successful business leaders was very limited. Although I had heard of countless success stories in business, I had never actually understood what it took to achieve such measures of success. However, it wasn’t until we had the privilege of hearing from four different business magnates in weeks 6 -9. Each of the business leaders gave an hour’s seminar and which was aimed at providing insights into their personal lives, working experiences and the core essence of 21st century business leadership.
Generally, the accounting professionals calling in the United States as well as in the whole world seemed to be focused on the readiness and examining of money related articulations. Many people consider Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and different experts of accounting while saying financial accounting. In any case, in different parts of the world, management accounting order is a division of the accounting field (Sahi and Dua 2012). Management accounting and financial accounting are two distinct callings in such locales. Administration accounting, as a sub control, manages money related and non-monetary data to bolster a scope of administrative choices. Then again, money related accounting focuses on monetary information just to bolster both loan bosses' and financial specialists' choices on capital allotment (Kinney and Raiborn 2008). Management accounting fundamentally concentrates on enhancing business execution yet not guaranteeing that the business complies with the set measures. From this perspective, it is evident that monetary accounting dominates management
