If you had to put down a list of pretend “sponsors” that helped you get through studying who would it be? Phrased another way, when you pass the exam and then you had to go up to make a speech…what products/companies/people would you thank for helping you get through the studying?

Mine:

My firm–paying for study materials

Becker

Jeff and Another71.com

Dunkin Donuts

5 Hour Energy

Coke Zero

Bose Audio Products

Myself/Family/Friends

Just on a study break and daydreaming

Why be afraid of what we do not understand?

You forgot Jeff and the Another 71 community! 🙂

-Jesus

-My husband

-My professors, especially Dr. Francis McNair!

-Church friends, for their prayers and moral support

-(Some of) my classmates

-Becker

-Jeff Elliot and the good people of this forum

-Keurig (If we had a Dunkin' in my town I'd add them too)

-Vitamin water

-The Coca-Cola Company

-Wendy's (lunches 1x per week)

-McDonald's (breakfast 1x per week)

-Stouffer's, Birds Eye, and other makers of frozen food

-Corning (for my crock pot)

-The 2004 Boston Red Sox (if they can overcome 86 years of defeat, I can pas the CPA exam! Also I met my husband because of them but that's another story)

I'm sure there are more but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.
