BBA (Hons) in Accounting Stream, Year 4 Student (2019/20)
Time management is crucial for all of us. I always think of how to accumulate as much as experience under limited time. I usually spend some time on preparing the lesson before class. I tried to go through the powerpoint once before the lesson, so that I have a general picture of the contents of that class. As a result, it is easier for me to construct the ideas and understand the knowledge during lesson. It may only take few minutes but the positive effect is obvious. Apart from that, it is useful to ask question immediately instead of before the tests and examination. As we might not be able to acquire deeper knowledge if we don't have clear foundation of it. It will be great if we can get the answer from your buddies, or it is always recommended to ask the professor directly.
In the coming future, I would like to be an accountant. Instead of choosing studying masters, getting professional qualifications is more important for accounting students who want to be an accountant in the future. I designed my career path before choosing the major. As there are several choices in BBA, it is better to decide our career path before that. Once I chose accounting as my major, I started to accumulate the relevant experiences, such as internship or business case competitions. Through those experiences, I know what kind of job can make me satisfied or annoyed. It helps me so much on developing myself with lots of soft skills. I also tried to join some business dinners to extend my networking. It is always treasurable to chat with those experienced.
Opportunity means all possibilities. As the old saying goes “nothing is impossible ”, it can represent the opportunities that I grasp in these years. At the very beginning, I thought that travelling out of Asia is far far away from me. When I get into the university, I received an email about working in Walt Disney world in September. I just tried to send the application form and to see any possibility for me to have a two months experience in the United States. Fortunately, I passed all the interview and being one of the participants of that programme. That was the most memorable summer for me! Therefore, we should not be afraid of grasping the opportunities, but put thoughts into practice in reality. University is a good place for you to step out of our comfort zone and get the oversea experiences. In addition, I represented the university to participate in various competitions such as HSBC case competition and ACCA business competition. It was a golden chance for us to know the ability of others and learn from them. Through participating the competitions, soft skills can be trained as well. Finally, my team won the championship of ACCA business case competition! I can’t believe that our efforts have been recognized. I believe it is always possible if we are willing to have one step forward.
我認為時間管理對我們所有⼈都⾄關重要。我會時常想著如何在有限的時間內積累盡可能多的經驗。通常我會花⼀些時間在課前進⾏預習，爭取在課前把ppt看⼀遍，這樣就能對那節課的內容提前有⼤概的瞭解，從⽽能更容易在課堂上構建思想和理解知識。這只需要花費少少的時間，同時效果也是顯⽽易⾒的。除此之外，我覺得即時發現並提出問題⽐在考試前更有⽤，這是因為當我們沒有明確的知識基礎，就無法明⽩更深層次的內涵。我認為和我們的朋友討論問題解決疑惑就是很好的選擇，當然直接與教授討論也是不錯的。
在未來，我希望成為⼀名會計師。對於未來從事會計⾏業的同學來說，我認為取得專業資格⽐選擇攻讀碩⼠學位更重要。在選擇專業之前，我已經提前規劃了個⼈的職業道路。因為在⼯商管理這個學科裡有很多選擇，所以我個⼈建議我們最好在那之前就做好職業⽣涯規劃。當我選擇了會計作為專業，我便開始積累相關的經驗，如參加⼀些實習項⽬或商業案例⼤賽。通過這些經歷，我知道什麼樣的⼯作適合⾃⼰。這對提升⾃⼰的軟實⼒很有幫助。我也試著參加⼀些商務晚宴來擴展我的⼈脈，和那些有經驗的⼈聊天總是很值得且很有意義的。
機會意味著所有的可能性。俗話說，「沒有什麼是不可能的」，它可以代表我這幾年爭取到的機會。剛開始的時候，我以為亞洲之外的旅⾏離我很遠。當我進⼊⼤學的時候，我收到了⼀封關於9⽉份在華特迪⼠尼世界⼯作的郵件。剛開始我只是爭取機會試著遞交了申請表格，看看有沒有可能讓我在美國待兩個⽉。幸運的是，我通過了所有的⾯試，成為了那個項⽬的參與者之⼀。那是我最難忘的⼀個夏天! 因此，我們不應該害怕抓住機會，⽽是把想法付諸實踐。⼤學是⼀個讓我們⾛出舒適區，獲得海外經驗的好地⽅。此外，我還代表學校參加了匯豐案例⼤賽、ACCA商業⼤賽等各種⽐賽。這是我們瞭解他⼈能⼒並向他們學習的絕佳機會。通過參加⽐賽，軟技能也可以得到訓練。最後，我的團隊獲得了ACCA商業案例⼤賽的冠軍! 我不敢相信我們的努⼒得到了認可。我相信如果⼤家願意向前邁出⼀步，⼀切都有可能的。
