My story is a
little scattered. I have been prepped for tornadoes and barricaded in
snowstorms. I have lived in 10 different apartments or homes and 5 states along
with DC. I have been molded by Northern and Southern accents and traditions.
Anyone can get from the North to the South or vice versa by taking a quick
plane trip or ambitious car ride, but the difference in the way of life and
culture between the two can feel like countries apart. I can explain why it
isn’t condescending to call someone “sweetie” and I can explain why it isn’t
rude to live a faster-paced life. I don't feel rooted to any one place, but
rather have spread my roots all along the eastern US. I like to think that
moving has helped me adapt to changes and understand people better. There are
always goods to be found and explored from all over, and moving has made me
adventurous and wanting to travel and learn more. I can pack up boxes and be
the “new girl” because I’ve come to learn that really people are people no
matter where you go, and there is always something new around the corner to
learn.
Your life story is truly one of a kind! This post really explains your approachable nature - a characteristic that I saw in you from the beginning of the semester. You have experienced drastic changes in your life and have obviously taken the time to reflect on the life lessons to be gained from such events. The one thing that I am still wondering about is at what point did you realize that you'd like to become an accountant? Where does that fit in to your story?
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura! I have always liked numbers. When I was a kid I used to count my family's change and one of my gifts on my holiday wish lists was a cash register. As I got older and started thinking about college, I thought a business major would fit well with me. So, I figured I would try accounting since I liked using numbers. I like it so far!
