Born in China Essay
I was born in China, a country that has foresighted been known for its excellence and leadership in terms of math king and numerical problems solving. Just like any Chinese child, I was raised(a) surrounded by numbers and even learned to count in numerical order in Chinese and English before I learned the alphabet. In 1996, my family migrated to Hong Kong where I continued with my education. It was during this educational period that my enjoy for numbers slowly emerged.Nobody could seem to understand, not even I, wherefore I could not sit dumb in the classroom and take heed to the teacher as she taught our classes but then sit very still and attentively every time the subjects leaned towards the Math and Science subjects. While I was bored during the early(a) classes and almost falling asleep in my chair, I would come to life and be the most active participant during classroom discussions that involved numbers.By the end of my secondary school education in Hong Kong, it was p retty obvious to everyone around me that I had a very well head for Math and that this unique ability should be honed and harnessed in order to help my development as a person and extremity of society. I was lucky enough to have been given a detect to come to the USA in order to under take my college education. This began with my attendance at the Pasadena City College for one year and then my eventual apparent motion to East Los Angeles College.My major in both colleges has consistently been Business and history. This is homely in all my grade transcripts as it shows that I performed quite signally in the chronicle related subjects while I struggled in the another(prenominal)s. somebody once asked me if I thought that Accounting was unfair because some heap excelled in the subject while others did not. At first I was not sure about how to answer his question but then I realized that Accounting is not an unfair thing.The problem that most heap have with news report is t hat they have very short attention spans. A short attention span has no place in the news report field because this exacting numbers crunching game requires an analytical eye and painful patience in order to be able to properly canvas and give attention to each and every number indicated on the spreadsheet. Accounting is not for the impatient. I will admit that Accounting is a straightforward passion for me.I can work on any accounting scenario for hours on end and not get tired of it. I estimate this is why my aunt decided to hire me to work at her alveolar office. She asked me to come and work for her as her accountant. I was ecstatic when she offered me the job because for me, an accounting job is a dream come true. Anybody who know show sick(p) I am about Accounting will attest to the circumstance that I can spend a whole day agaze at balance sheet and comparing accounting records.Actually, one of my favourite(a) activities at my aunts office, Garfield Dental, was to wo rk on the forms for the insurance payments, aside from working at the front desk and doing other paperwork for the office. Indeed, numbers is the strikingest passion of my life. It is the one other thing that, aside from my parents, taught me the value, patience, hard work, concentration, and discipline. Numbers was the one constant in my life that I could depend upon. Accounting problems are definite and hence the outcome will always be the same.The solutions remain constantly unchanging. Accounting and Math are passions that are not easily shared with other people. Yet those that do share that kind of passion have a higher level of maturity and sense of discipline. Truly, these are the kinds of passions that the French philosopher Dennis Diderot was referring to when he said that only passions, great passions, can elevate the soul to great things. Such is my passion for Accounting and such also, is the passion for learning that I shall take with me once I am admitted as a stu dent into USC.
