When I was younger, I really wanted to be a doctor because I was inspired by the doctors at the hospital when they did all they could and succeeded to make my dad feel better when he was really sick in a bad condition. At that moment, I had thought myself, when I grow up, I will be a doctor and help others, just like the doctors had, uh, helped my dad. However, as I grew up, I discovered my passion for math. Decided I wanted to be an accountant. After discussing my thought with my family, I return from my thought, because right now, when I have the chance to study at a university, I will study for a doctor, since it requires on, um, in person classes. And, uh, on the other hand, accountant doesn’t require in person classes, and you could learn online. So in the future, if I get bored and want to learn, I will study for an account.
