Through high school up to obtaining a master's equivalent I was an honor student. (Prior to that, I did not understand nor speak English well, so I was often a C or B student.) When I went back to college to fulfill accounting requirements, prerequisite of the CPA exam, I maintained a 4.0.
I grew up on a small island and attended a school that did not have the facilities children who grew up in America did. I attended the only university available (did not have the means to do otherwise.), probably why I did well. After obtaining a master's equivalent I moved to the states where the nearest college I was accepted to was an hour away. I did not want to be that far away from my young children, and with gas prices skyrocketing at the time, I enrolled in an online program. I was very sceptical at first, but later found that I had learned more than I ever did in a traditional classroom environment; this was probably so because I basically taught myself.
I never considered myself smart but I work hard, study hard, and do my best given the situation. (God blessed me with this nature.) CPA candidates I admire most and provide me with some motivation are those that have the will to succeed despite repeated attempts.
