Undergraduate / My father-the people who influenced me and change my life. [2]
Hello everyone, it's my 1st time to post essay here. please help me to check my essay and give me your valuable advices. Thanks a lot! :)
Describe someone you admire and explain why you admire this person. How have you incorporated what you have learned from this individual in your life?
I admire my father because of his responsibility, career ambition and endeavor. My father was a professional engineer on his early years. One of his main businesses was to sell and service the imported tower cranes from Italy and Germany. The superior consciousness and responsibility made him to be a successful engineer at the beginning of reform and open in China. My father always studied the blueprints of those imported facilities carefully and communicated with European companies frequently. For example, after he found a hidden but important note on an instruction page which indicated the service life of his ever-sold facilities parts, he immediately informed his customers to update the spares parts of their tower cranes. While other colleagues mainly aimed at the selling of imported tower cranes at that time, my father was the first one who focus on after-sale service and client safety. This spirit enabled him to gain particular trust and praise from customers.
Now my father is a successful stock investor, this has profoundly influenced me and gradually developed my strong interests in accounting. For example, I have first-hand experience with the importance of understanding financial statement when my father was planning to invest in wine stocks. He first went to a supermarket to purchase the products of a specific winery and then invite his friends to taste them and help him analyze the financial statements of that firm. My father usually investigates listed companies carefully because of the often-misleading financial statements in China. He believes that field research is an effect way to avoid purchasing such inferior stocks as Enron Corporation.
Thus, I decided to major in accounting for my undergraduate studies so I could help my father to better understand the financial statements. My father is not an accountant, but his rigorous attitude to work and professional responsibility influenced me how to be a successful and responsible accountant. In my life, he always taught me that accountant is a highly responsible job, if you fail to fulfill this basic point, you won't be a professional accountant. I bring his training into my accounting study and internship, treating every invoices and transactions carefully. Because I realized that once I am an accountant, the only standard that I need to stick to is accurateness, professional accountability and integrity.
