Being an accountant has always been a dream for me ever since I was a child. Even though I have studied other subjects in the past and I don’t have any background in the accounts area at the moment, I believe that it’s never too late to study and pursue this dream I’ve always hoped for.

I have also prepared a presentation work in relation to consulting a company regarding online e-commerce business activities. My skills in drama have helped me with the standard and the quality of presentation work that I have produced. I find these type of exercises very exciting and thoroughly motivating. Moreover, I have also completed a group project work for Networking and have also successfully taken part in a simulation activity for Communication and Employability Skills.

The course has also thought me a lot regarding my attitude towards my studies. Given so many work to do, I became more hardworking and focused.
