PROFILE Faculty of Arts Dean's Honours List QE2: Aiming for the Top Scholarship Winner UW President's Scholarship Winner UW Table-Tennis club President UW Table-Tennis Inter-University team Captain 2007 Accounting Frosh Leader Ever since I was fourteen, I wanted to be an accountant. Truthfully, I would not have been at the University of Waterloo if not for my grade 12 accounting teacher who kept insisting it would be really stupid for missing out on such a golden opportunity in the Bachelor of Accounting and Financial Management. After much deliberation, I indeed came to realize that Waterloo not only offered a unique co-op program prominent nation-wide, with its Masters of Accounting fully accredited by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (ICAO), but it could prove to be the pathway to achieving my goals and endeavors. In accepting my offer, I was convinced that my accounting career was in excellent hands. Throughout my first year of post-secondary education, I saw multiple facets of the University of Waterloo that compelled a sense of respect and awe in me. Its outstanding reputation as one of the top universities of Canada lived up to my expectations. What I characterize as a treasure box of unlimited resources was provided to me on a daily basis to hone the skills and values that I cherish the most and strive to attain: leadership, excellence, integrity, teamwork, interpersonal communication skills and balance between academics and social life. I would like to thank Professor Bob Sproule (SOA), Megan McDermott (LLC) and Katherine Lithgow (LT3) for their generous input in suggestions as I worked on my E-Portfolio. Also, my special thanks go to my family and friends, who have made a huge impact on my life and provided me with unconditional support to shape the person I am today.
