kwento at testimony
i have never been in a place with so many certified public accountants around.neither have i been paid three hundred pesos a day to meet these people.talk about meeting nenita deano mejorada who wrote our cost accounting reference book. or handling the registration papers of susan valix, the wife of conrado valix who is the author of financial accounting 1.or seeing in the flesh the chairman of the board of accountancy. (ok, i didn’t really see him, but i got to sit on the swivel chair he sat on.haha!=)
the 61st annual national conference of the philippine institute of accountants was a big breather for me.it’s not the pay or the free meals, but these were part of it.i’m not superstitious, but i hoped being there would help me be one of them in the near future…i hope to be one of them after just one take.
behind the "reklamo" of having an disorderly system, the long work hours, little sleep and the early call time for three consecutive days, there was inspiration. a seeming chore to help out with the registration turned out to be a morale-booster because in one week’s time, I will be facing the last and the biggest battle yet of my college life. having to pack 24 units each in the last 2 semesters of next school year is something i have been both waiting for in a long time, and hoping to evade because of the feeling of inadequacy.
I believe God has given me this opportunity to learn at the anc.it had been both tiring and fulfilling; strenuous and exciting. to meet cpas from all over the country had inspired me to believe that with God’s grace, i can be a cpa like each of them.
several days before i knew about the anc, i woke up with this thought: "i will be graduating from my accountancy degree this school year. God had never failed on His promises." before entering college, i struck a deal with God. If it was His will for me to become a cpa, i should be retained in the accountancy program of my school by following the very stiff retention requirements.i will be enrolling myself as an undegraduate for the last time monday next week. indeed, "…in our weaknesses, His strength has been made perfect…" He has never failed! His promises have never wavered!praise God!=)
