Quotes:
I chose the Barton School of Business because it has one of the best accounting programs in the country. Since making that decision, my passion for accounting has grown, and I now hope to inspire others to pursue an accounting degree, especially at Wichita State.
This award gives me assurance that the career I am pursuing is what I am meant to do and that I made the right decision. Though the road has not always been smooth, winning this award made me realize that my efforts were worthwhile.
I would tell others that it is okay to be scared and unsure about your career or major choice. Feeling a little lost is completely normal. College is an opportunity not only to discover your career path but also to learn more about yourself. Your grades don't define your intelligence or your self worth. If you struggle with an assignment or a test, do not be too hard on yourself. College is a roller coaster of emotions and events, but just remember to be yourself. Stay true to yourself regardless of what others say.
My biggest mentor has been one of my accounting professors, Professor Michael Flores. He helped me prepare for the interview for the semi-finalist round. He has inspired me to become a better student and a better person overall. He always provides valuable knowledge and advice and frequently cracks jokes to bring a smile to anyone's face. He is the main reason I am now actively pursuing becoming a CPA.
