I am ....

I am ambitious and determined person. I came to San Jose from Toronto, Canada seven years ago. I completed college and worked as accountant in Toronto for seven and a half years. After moving to San Jose, I tried to look for a job and I found out most of posted jobs were required bachelor degree. Anyway, I finally got a job as a bookkeeper for a small tax accounting office. The wages that I received was not what I expected to compare with my background experience and education. I realized that in order to get a better position with decent salary I must go back to school to obtain a bachelor degree. However, it was not easy for me, a working mother with two little children, to accomplish a bachelor degree in a short time. I had to confront many difficulties and obstacles to overcome. I needed to spend time with family at the same time working and studying. It was hard to prorate time proportionately for working, taking care of my children and studying. Some days, I felt so tired after a long day at work, when I came home my child was not feeling well and was being so irritable that he could not sleep straight during the night. The next morning, I was so exhausted and feeling drowsy either at work or at school. Sometimes I felt running out of energy and it made me thinking about of giving up school so I could use quality time for my family. However, with my strong ambition it was not allowed me to give up easily. I was determined that I would achieve a bachelor degree one day. So I must work harder and harder to find out some ways to overcome those obstacles. That was the reason why I was on the waiting list for this fall.
