Through my independent study, I aspire to further develop my knowledge of the accounting field, in order to determine if the professionalism and reality of such an occupation is fit for me. By conducting research and working under the guidance of a mentor, as well as pushing myself beyond my limits, I will produce a personal, professional product that expresses my dedication to and passion for the field. In exhibiting responsibility, integrity, and sincerity, I hope to encourage those around me as I fulfill my mission and acquire the skills necessary to become an accountant.
