The transition from high school to post-secondary can be frightening. From how we attend to our next classes to teaching styles to the students themselves-it is no longer the same as how it was back in high school. However, one thing is for sure: my character remains unchanged. With my excellent work ethics and the desire to succeed, I am eager to become heavily involved with the Queen's community, making Queen's a milestone in my life.
To start off the beginning of my first year, I want to spend time developing relationships with my peers, professors, and also with the university itself by joining clubs such as Random Acts of Kindness, and partaking in various social gatherings such as Frosh Week and events hosted by All Year Social. Furthermore, I want to become an executive of the Queen's Commerce Society and also apply for the position of Oil Thigh Design's graphic designer, for graphic design has always been one of my hobbies. On the other hand, I aim to develop my understanding of business and explore my fields of interest more in depth by taking part in the conferences and competitions Queen's has to offer. Not only that, but I would love to do an exchange at HKUST Business School in Hong Kong.
Although the future is still far away, I have set my sights on becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant. Upon completion of my BCom degree, I want to complete the Graduate Diploma in Accounting and write the Common Final Evaluation. After that, I seek to work in the industry and act as an adviser with my business insight and strategic thinking. In essence, I am prepared to take the necessary steps in achieving my goals, starting at Queen's University.
