Profession is a big word, and it takes a lot of things just to achieve it.

I entered the ABM strand without a plan at all; because I believe that my first year as an ABM student will make me discover a lot of things about me.

One thing why I loved about ABM is not only because it teaches me about Business-related things, but because it introduced me new thing to dream about: Being an Accountant.

If I will choose what profession I want to have, it is being an accountant.

An Accountant is a necessity for every business. They say behind every good business is a good accountant.

I don’t really know when did this dream exist, but I just found my self enjoying all the activities we’re making on our Accountancy Subject.

After searching online, I learned that it’ll give me many benefits if I’ll be one successful Certified Public Accountant someday.

1. Job security.
   
2. A clear future.
3. High salary.
   
4. Benefits.
   
5. Opportunity for advancement.
   
6. A great network.
   
7. Career diversity.
   
8. Modern-day work.
   
9. A rewarding role
   
10. Prestige

Even though it will take a lot to finish the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, and there are a lot of exams needed to become a CPA, I am decided.

I will be an Accountant someday…

A successful Certified Public Accountant.

The reason why I chose the Accountancy, Business and Management strand, aside from the fact that I am challenged, is because I am undecided about what college degree I’m going to pursue in college.

Now that I’m already studying according to my unexpected choice, I realized that I wasn’t wrong about it.

Nowadays, business and entrepreneurship fill up the world. And obviously, I’m going to be engaged in a business whatever profession I’ll be into. And that made me think that, Yeah, this strand is really for the undecided ones.

These are only a few of the college courses that you may take if you’ll pick ABM as your strand.

If you’re still undecided, think of what you really want and keep in mind that…

The Accountancy, Business, and Management strand is a flexible track which can lead you to the various choices but better paths for the career/s you may take.

Back in Junior High School, I really thought that I’ll be taking STEM as my strand in Senior High School. Aside from the fact that I have a huge passion for art, I was also doing good in my Mathematics and Science subject. But after having some realization, I made STEM my pick because I want to be like my sister.

“It was not too late, STEM is out of the list, but what I should pick now?” That was the time when I became undecided about the upcoming SHS. Some of my friends said that I should consider the Accountancy, Business, and Management as a strand.

From the title itself, I know that it’ll take a lot of Math and understanding. And that is when I feel challenged.

I thought that it’ll be not as hard as the other strand, or so I thought…
