The classroom setting offers the chance to introduce and test what was uncovered in research and learn from the discussions that ensue in class. The class discussions, I believe, would help the reevaluation of the assumptions and conclusions and to further sharpen the focus of the research.

By reviewing financial operations, an accountant helps a business run efficiently. This profession can be intellectually stimulating and rewarding. After learning about accounting, I cannot help but be interested and desire to work toward a degree in accountancy. In my studies, I have learned accountants require a plethora of qualities to be successful. And to mature from a student to a professional, I must resolve to strengthen my weaknesses.
