I’ve always been a mediocre student, and very inconsistent with studying. However the only consistent thing between me and finishing this exam was to keep on trying. A lot of you may applaud on my effort to never give up, and a lot may also read this and believe I will probably be a pathetic CPA. Both are good opinions, I never gave up, and I might not be a good CPA. However I FREAKING PASSED THE EXAM!! And we can all agree it is not a simple task.

Now…, it took it me 15 attempts, this equates to roughly $3,000 in exam fees over the 3 years I dedicated. Why did it take me 3 years? This is probably a story that has happened many times too much. I broke up with a significant other, began working immediately after college, worked part-time, bought a house, went through legal battles over the course of 5 years because of an automobile accident (proved not guilty), attended too many weddings, got into the whole wild electric music phase and partied too hard, became lazy, became motivated, but overall I was inconsistent. The largest contributing factor to passing was dedication, and like many things in life it depends on attitude (I also listened to a lot of NWA).

I hope this helps your passing Attitude!

NWA has very inspirational lyrics, I personally like Free the Police.

Through God all things can happen!

When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people;as I grow older, I admire kind people.
