I believe that as a CPA I would be serving our society by providing them with accurate and reliable financial information. There is a great responsibility that comes with being a public accountant and I am willing to take it because I love accounting and the financial aspects of business. I would love to give back to my country of Angola, so I want to return to either join in a government position to serve the community or be a professor. I dream of teaching higher education or being a professor and I would like to get a PhD in Economics. I believe that education is an essential way to contribute to a country's development. With that, I was hoping to go travel to some countries in Africa or even just travel around my country and get to know people and help them by …show more content…

I remember growing up and seeing some of my friends and classmates having to drop out of school to be able to provide for their family.

Therefore, I have a goal to one day go back to Angola and become a professor and to help in any way I can.
I know that all goals and objectives will remain just a dream if I am not committed to finish my higher education and this scholarship would allow me to do so. I am committed to work hard and honor everyone that helped and supported me to get where I am today. I will always push myself an extra step to provide this same support for someone that needs

That being said, I also believe that I have a lot of learning to do in order to be successful in my early career.

    Every day, many people question my passion for pursuing accounting as a profession and the first answer I think of is that I am good with numbers. 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. Since my parents rewarded me in monetary value as a positive reinforcement in cases of good behaviour, I was motivated to maintain good manners so long as my savings increased. 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. I took interest in managing may own account as a child and even pursued accounting courses in high school. The interest grew deeper because I gained more insight on the facts about accounting and the career.
