Have you ever wondered what your life would be when you’re not a BSA student? Would you be one of those students who are stress-free and more relaxed? Or would you be one of those who seek for fun and explorations? I remember Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” People whose dreams are beyond their reach and capabilities. Dreams which are too high to achieve but just serve as their motivation.  Nothing is ever achieved without determination. You just cannot wait for a shooting star to wish upon. You have to put a lot of effort for you to get what you want. You have to try your best for you to succeed. You have to push the limits for you to get your goal.

I can still remember the very first day I had stepped my feet on the College of Accountancy and Economics three years ago. I was on the stake of having too much anxiety on what my journey here would be. Pressure was running one me and it had kept on pushing me until today as I imagined myself years from now. I had no idea what the road would lead me to reach the end of the finish line. Tons of prayers and determination are all I kept in my pocket. As the days passed by, I realized that being a BSA student is like investing in a business with the aim of earning a profit. You have to acquire all the full knowledge you could ever get while taking risks for the sake of not getting losses. You have to be equipped with knacks and skills for you to survive all your endeavors as you sail your way in a long journey. 

As an accounting period ends, you soon realize that it’s not just about earning a profit but also expanding and investing more for your business to run on as longer as it can. Just like studying accounting books for your Midterms and Finals, it’s not just all about passing it and getting high grades but also to push yourself to strive more aside from what you have learned in your books. At the end of the day, you learn how to be more passionate in what you are doing and you learn how to transform that passion into an exquisite excellence. 

Dreams do come true and it can happen to everyone. Dreams serve as your inspiration to soar high and to believe that everything is possible with Him. It may take long years for you to get on the finish line but all the hardships are worth your patience. To survive in this world full of uncertainties, one should have a mind set on conquering this field you have chosen. You may fall at first but remember you can stand again and be all you can ever be. You always have to remember that you have to reach your goal to CPAdom. You are the captain of your journey so keep on dreaming.  Always aim high and hit the mark!
