A Day to Remember

Yesterday is a day in that I will remember the rest of my life. It is a day that made my career goals a reality. I was accepted in the Masters of Accountancy program at Brigham Young University. The stem that I was accepted into is the tax stem.

It started with me in the Tanner building studying for my mcom class. I heard my phone vibrate, but I was so focused that my phone was the last of my worries. My phone started to vibrate more, I decided to pause my studies to look at it. I looked at the first notification which was an email from Julie Averett. My heart started to pound in my chest and I immediately knew what is was for. As I opened the email it stated, “MAcc admission decisions have been made for Fall 2014.  To read your decision, go to . . . .” I clicked on the link. I didn't think three seconds of loading a page could take any longer. My pounding heart was instantly relieved as the first word I read was “Congratulations.” The first thing I did was fall to my knees to thank my God, the One who has truly helped me achieve this goal of mine.

I still have a lot of accomplishments I need to achieve in my life, but accomplishing this goal was the start. Having my Masters in Accounting will help me get the job I want; it will then depend how hard I work to accomplish my other goals.

I am excited about these next two years. I will be able to study a topic that I love—Tax. Yes you might wonder who would enjoy such a subject; however, being able to bring other people pleasure by saving taxes bring me joy.
