When I was a sophomore one of my classmates asked me a very strange question: “Why major in accounting instead of something you're passionate about?”Was it a rude thing to ask? Yes, but did it pose an interesting question? Also yes. It got me thinking about why I wanted to major in accounting and how it linked to my passions and values. I think there is a general misconception that the only reason someone would pursue a career in accounting is that they A. Want money or B. Know how to weasel their way around tax laws (I blame “The Accountant” personally). However, as many of us know this just isn't the case. I’ve always been a big proponent of social equity and ethics and those values don't always mix well with the acquisition of wealth. So I can see where my classmate struggled to see me fit into their idea of what an accountant is. However, I believe that my classmate was missing one key fact and that is that the practice of accounting is in of itself all about ethics.I believe accounting to be one of the most important fields in business. To check that a company is being accurate and honest with its financial statements is essential when sustaining an honest business reputation. I myself wish to pursue this career because I believe that the field of accounting needs more individuals set on upholding moral fortitude and ethical standards through accuracy, attention to detail, and teamwork.Outside of work, I tend to be a Jack of all Trades or rather a Jack of all Hobbies. I like to take new challenges head-on and pride myself on being highly adaptable. For instance, I enjoy learning new languages and skills. Currently, I am trying my hand at Spanish and computer programming both of which I am happy to say are coming along wonderfully. I am very open to networking and career opportunities so feel free to connect with me. If you are a student at UNT and want to start making more professional connections don't be shy Ill be more than happy to help you out.
