As children, we were allowed to be whatever we wanted to be, and the funny thing is the fact that our childhood dreams changed. I remember vividly when my cousin and I wanted to be lawyers so we could punish those who had gone against the law and bring justice to the "offendee" Is there any word like that, though?
Growing up, there was this particular television channel that my siblings and I loved so much; my mother allowed us to watch it because of its educative nature, so often, my siblings and I would stay glued to the screen, always pointing at those we wanted to be like.
Those are the moments that our dreams started and would still change when we see someone from a certain profession do something amazing: "I want to be this and that," due to the amazing stuff the person did and how much I got attracted to it.
My childhood fantasy: as a child, I've always wanted to be a lawyer; often, I would imagine myself wearing white and black, seeing myself in court, and doing the needful. In those moments of imagination, you would see this bright smile on my face like it's contagious.
But then, as I grew older, everything changed; I became attracted to something else, and that thing stole my heart away from the law profession I fell in love with from the beginning. Maybe the beginning and the end aren't supposed to be the same.
I started falling in love with the accounting profession, and it all started as a fantasy, but then this time around, it was different; what I felt was different from the others. In this profession, I found my peace, and when someone asks me the mighty question of what I want to be when I grow up, I won't think twice but rather say the answer straight in the blink of an eye.
The love I found in accounting was something else, something that I can't describe when asked to. I wanted to be the financial brain of an organization and grow the organization to a level that it hasn't been before.
Currently, I'm in that field that I love so much, and that is "accounting." Yeah, and I'm pursuing a professional career in it as well. In accounting, I found peace of mind, though sometimes it isn't as smooth as it seems, but then balancing those accounts creates this unimaginable beauty that I haven't seen before despite the stress and struggles that accompany it.
