Every single phenomenon in this world is based on the figures – either this is the simplest electronic device, or the money in a wallet, or logistics, or even a boiling kettle. Absolutely everything we are surrounded by is all about figures. No wonder that the first time I closely got acquainted with the world of figures was when I was a child. Thanks to my family I was able to realize a significant importance of those amusing hooks scratched on the paper very early and thus, it helped me shape my life and career aspirations before I actually could think them over.

In 1929 my grandfather took the train that runs along the Mediterranean coast from Haifa in the historic Palestine, to the city of Beirut in Lebanon. He did so to catch a ship taking off to Brazil, the New World. There was a strong wave of migration to the new world, even though the only way of traveling at that time was by ship, and this took over three months to reach the port of Rio de Janeiro.

Once at the new land, officials referred to my grandfather as the Turku, even though he was, in fact, Arabic. They did so as ...

- Malcolm X
Though Malcolm X is very controversial figure in the history of twenty-first century, I think no one will argue about his words on education. What is more, from Socrates to Shakespeare, Plutarch to Albert Einstein, Aristotle to Henry Ford, prominent minds of human kind stressed the importance of education. Their words still linger nowadays, because education, in one way or another, will always be important for personal growth and open-mindness, a mean to succeed and build your life, and become a valuable for both oneself and the society.
Nevertheless, the complete understanding of it came to ...

Test Predictors of Success in Academia:

“Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.”
Alexander Graham Bell
After returning to college at age 43, I felt disappointed to discover that I missed obtaining an ACT score by only one point: 24 vs 25. However, having maintained a GPA of 3.8 clearly demonstrates that this small gap is not an accurate predictor for successfully completing academic requirements and earning a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Accountancy at W.P. Carey School of Business. Another indication of my academic success is membership in Phi Theta Kappa, an honor society.
Even though I have 20 years ...

Personal Statement

My interest in accounting dates back to the time I was in elementary school. I was a straight A student in mathematics from first grade to fourth grade.

The friendship grew so strong that we used to spend the whole weekend together, either at Marks family house or our house. On one weekend, Marks father, an accountant, was home. I admired the fact that Marks father was ...

The idea helped me to progress in my studies and I felt mostly interested in the accounting and economics disciplines. Afterwards, when I saw a website about the benefits of studying in an American Community College for students who do ...

Statement of Purpose
In the highly competitive and complex world that we strive to conquer daily, we sometimes forget that our most common struggle is being human. We focus on creating a selfhood based on a limiting personal or professional recognition when our common denominator is defining our humanity. I realize that my journey in defining self has been one of shaping my inner being struggling against a strong, external influencer. Recently, I reached a pivotal turning point in my life by redirecting my objectives from the standard and trusted environmental science direction chosen by my traditional Indian family. ...

Personal Statement

Economic recession is a disaster facing all economies around the globe. The few with the ability to forecast such a disaster before it hit, are financial forecasters and economists. They predict before it happens and try to eradicate it after. They are the real saviors in our world and becoming one of them is my ultimate dream.
I decided to develop my skills about figures and calculations and entered Accounting and Finance major at London Metropolitan University. There, I attained honors for good academic results. I realized that mathematics allows making forecasts and analyses, and this makes ordinary calculations ...

Becoming a businesswoman has always been my dream. My interest in trade first developed during the secondary school, when I would get student stationeries from a bulk-buying store for the cheap price and sell them to my fellows, receiving my money back with some extra profit. I was quite successful and decided to span my consumers. It soon escalated from my school friends being my only customers to their parents purchasing from me as well. Eventually, I started looking for other opportunities to earn profit, and thus began to sell home-made chocolate. I received plenty of orders, especially on Valentine’s Day. ...

Income statements are different in that they only indicate what the business entity has made and spent over a fixed period. Cash flow statements show the exchange or flow of cash between the business entity and the economy. The difference between ...
