For all of those who are reading this and do not know who I am, my name is Kaitlyn Cole and I am a junior here at Curry College. I study business management with an accounting concentration as well as a minor in mathematics. My goal after college is to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to then proceed to work with a Top 4 Accounting Firm or start my own firm. I come from a small town in Connecticut that isn't known unless I mention that its about twenty minutes west of the Mohegan Sun Casino/Hotel. Once you make the reference every just happens to know where I am from.
I decided I wanted to become an accountant as a career path when I was maybe 12 or 13. At the time I was the math nerd that shot her hand up the minute the teacher would ask if anyone knew the answer. I found a love for the subject based on a handful of great math teachers I had throughout my secondary years of education. They showed passion in what they taught which made me look forward to all of my math classes just because I looked forward to learning new things as much as they were excited to teach it. While almost everyone was ready to jump over the desk to get out of the classroom I found I was always the last one to leave because I was so eager to finish the problem I was working on. Looking back I can see I had found success when it came to math related courses. This helped me decide that I should become a business management major when it was time to apply for college.
This blog was made in order to keep people aware of how the trip is going, what our day to day schedule is like but also to see what we are learning from the trip itself. The two professors of this course Susanne Gibbs and Deanna Gordon have worked extremely hard to make sure this trip goes exactly how it was planned. Since we leave in about a week I most likely wont post another blog until we are in sunny California
Until next time,
Kaitlyn
