As break passed by and we entered the BBL classroom for the first time, in the new term, you could already tell the difference in the atmosphere. Coming in fall term everyone was quiet and reserved to themselves, now it’s like we created a family. A family with the same purpose and the same goals. It was a little hard to get class started because of all the chatter, but it went well underway. As always, we were challenged as a group. We had to take on the challenge of everyone stepping on a tarp and having to turn it over to the other side. We tried a couple ways, but we solved it until 17 minutes. As Tayah told us the challenge, I remember thinking to myself that it could not be done, but with critical thinking and the help with my peers, we got the job done. Even though essentially, the challenge was to flip a tarp over, it had deeper meaning. I interpreted that even if something seems impossible to do, take the time needed to get it solved and do not be afraid of turning to your peers or advisors because they are “flipping the same tarp” you are or already have done so.

Through the business school, I am aiming for a BA in business with the concentration of accounting. Along the way, I have the hopes of double minoring in Spanish and Econ. Coming out of college, I am aiming to work for the city of LA or to work at a university. I am going to do job shadowing programs, so I can further enhance my knowledge in that career work. Overall, I want to become an account because of job stability and I love numbers. I am often told accounting is the language of business and everyone needs a good account, so that is where I will come in.
