I am motivated to do the STAR Scholars Program for I wish to learn and develop the skills necessary for succeeding in the accounting field.
I chose the accounting major as my father is a C.P.A. (Certified Public Accountant). I have been helping my father file our family’s taxes for as long as I can remember. In the beginning, I did absolutely nothing, I simply just watched him plug numbers into the tax software. However, over time, my responsibilities filing the taxes increased from nothing, to collecting the information for data entry, but my father did the rest. As I grew more mature, my skills and tax knowledge grew and I felt more at ease with the tax returns. So, when I first started receiving a paycheck as a lifeguard, I was able to file my own taxes (under my father’s strict supervision!) I have always liked the consistency in accounting, in the sense that everything must be balanced.

I do know that a lot of people underestimate me and assume I’m slow and immature because of the way I act. People have even told me I underestimate myself.

What does the accountant of the future need to be successful? A sturdy education that while is based on traditional accounting practices, also prepares future accountants for the plethora of changes happening in the accounting universe. Frequently, most of the institutions responsible for educating professionals fail to evolve as rapidly as the professional practice itself (Bedford et al. 4). In every way, accounting is expanding and in order for the future to have competent accountants, accounting education must expand as well. Major changes occurring in the world of accounting include the expansion of services and products, changes in competition, an increase in specialization, and an increase in and an advancement of technology. It is up to academic institutions to find proactive ways in which to prepare students for such changes. Accounting education of the future will require more breadth to cover the inevitable expansion of services and products, increased knowledge of economics, marketing, management and information systems to increase competitive advantage, a balanced course load that provides a general accounting knowledge as well as increased knowledge of a specialization, and also a greater, proactive focus on the use of continuously advancing accounting technologies (Bedford et al. 8). Also in play is the chance of change in accounting standards, the move from US GAAP to IFRS. While there are no certainties surrounding the threat of such change, students in the U.S. should acquire at least a general, basic feel for the practices used in regards to IFRS. The future health of the accounting profession depends, to a great extent, on the health of our students (Gormon and Hargadon 4). Reorganization of curriculums would surely be difficult and assumedly time-consuming, but nevertheless, completely
