Creativity

There are moments in life when you discover your purpose long before everyone else sees it. For me, that moment came when I was about to enter Senior Secondary School One (SS1).
My father had already made up his mind—I was going to study Science. I wrote my entrance examination as a science student, passed as a science student, and he even collected the science prospectus so we could buy all the required textbooks. Everything pointed towards a future in Science.
But deep inside me, there was a different calling.
I had developed a genuine love for Accounting. It wasn't because someone persuaded me or because it seemed easier; it was because I saw myself in it. Numbers, financial records, and the discipline of accounting fascinated me. The more I learnt about the profession, the more convinced I became that it was where I truly belonged.
Despite the expectations around me, I made one of the boldest decisions of my young life. I respectfully refused to join the science class and insisted on becoming a commercial student instead.
At the time, many people might have thought it was just a stubborn teenager making a random choice. But it wasn't stubbornness—it was conviction. It was passion. I chose the path that aligned with my dreams rather than the one others had chosen for me.
Looking back today, I have no regrets. That decision became the foundation of my academic journey and eventually led me to graduate with a degree in Accounting. It taught me an important lesson: when you discover what you are truly passionate about, have the courage to pursue it. Sometimes, the greatest success comes from following the path your heart has known all along.

Amen
