At a point in time during my undergraduate years, I have longed for the day I will land a job. However, I do not want to be just any other employee. Thus after graduation, at age 18, I immediately enrolled for the CPA review. After six months, I took the CPA Board Examination. Unfortunately, lack was not on my side. I did not pass!
The effect was devastating. Having graduated with honors, the School highly expects that I will make it. In a way, I think I failed them. My torment was even aggravated knowing that a schoolmate did earn a passing mark. Much worse, I was already teaching in the same school where I finished my Bachelor's Degree when the results came out. Consequently, I have no choice but to witness my schoolmate's Oath taking Ceremony.
This depressing episode in my life stimulates an extreme desire for excellence. Apparently, I challenged myself to do better than any CPA. Having handled basic accounting subjects, I ensure that my approach encourages learning and attracts students' interest. It was then my dream to produce a CPA among the aspiring young adults in my class. I made myself a part of their aspirations by providing the knowledge they need for them to succeed. Indeed, my efforts proved worthwhile. Years after I left the academe, I learned that one of my students emerged as a licensed CPA.
As a bank employee, I continue to strive for excellence. True enough, my efforts paved the way to where I am now. I have earned the respect of colleagues. In a way, I have proven that I am more than a CPA.
Still, I seek for more. I am no longer contented in what I have achieved. The years of hard work seemed futile. Thus, I am now in search for something worthwhile doing; a fresh source of income that is all the while fulfilling; a work that at some extent will bring me closer to my family, my community and my God.
I am now considering life coaching. This field of endeavor stirs my interest. A gratifying profession that is a fulfillment of my quest. However, this also means investment. Talking about finances, now, it poses a great challenge for me. I am not losing hope though. I know, soon, I will find the right funding source that will help me through proper training and eventually earn my certificate as a professional life coach.
Never give up!, as they say...
