Around when I was eight, I found out my great-grandmother had cancer which was gradually making her health decline. Eventually the cancer had spread to her legs and within a time span of a year, she had become a double amputee. Being so close to my great-grandmother, this hit me hard, but I felt no sorrow because I knew she was a strong woman, and, being naive at that age, I hadn't thought this event truly changed her.

    889 Words  | 2 Pages

However, advancing in the field has made me realize that my passion is not only based on figures. Growing up as a kid, I was privileged to have a piggy account where I would save as little as fifty cents per week.

As time went by, I realized I had saved way “too much” money for a little child. The challenge came in the management of the funds because I was focused on spending more on pleasurable activities. However, the guidance of my parents enabled me to prioritize on the more important things and save more.

Overall, this semester was all about making mistakes. In these four months, I have learned about the mistakes I performed during this semester. Yet, something that was difficult for me grasp throughout this first semester is that college is unlike high school. Nobody is going to “grab your hand” throughout this journey. In college, everything must be done by ourselves or else we aren’t advancing. In high school, teachers, mentors, coaches etc. accommodated students so much that students are used to teachers doing everything for them. This was one of my difficulties in my first semester in college. I had everything handed to me in high school without moving a finger and now coming into college many things have completely changed.
