SMART: Career Goal
After I graduate from Case Western Reserve University, I hope to find myself working as a Certified Public Accountant at an accounting firm in America. I see this as a goal to be reached in two years because I will take one year off to go to a CPA exam preparation school in Korea. In addition, I will take the exam in Vermont because the credit requirement to take the CPA exam is less than other states, thus, I will not need a masters degree. I have taken Accounting 201 and 300 in order to fulfill my Accounting Degree. In addition, as these are the core courses of accounting, I have taken extensive notes so that they may prepare me for the CPA exam. Also, these were my first classes in America. Thus, it was a very difficult time, as well as a time where I learned a lot. I became more self-reliant and began to ask for help from former accounting student who were Korean, as well as Professors of accounting and my advisor. Thus, though these courses helped me finish core requirements, they were also stepping stones to learning how to receive help as an international student. In addition, I am going to join Alpha Beta Psi, an accounting fraternity as an extracurricular on my undergraduate resume. Although there are not a lot of Koreans in this fraternity, I hope that by joining I will impress American companies when I apply for a job. Thus, even though it feels challenging for me to do as a native Korean, I hope to join the fraternity.
