LMP CPA LLC

My goal for the next fifteen years is to open my own CPA firm. I want to challenge myself to become someone not only know taxation but also financial knowledge. By the age of 35, I want to become financial independent and have the ability to retire my parents.

Currently, I am a junior in Baruch College. My major is accounting. I am planning to go on the 5-year path to earn my master degree and my CPA license. With the financial knowledge, I am currently under training from a financial service marketing company.

For the summer of 2010, I want to get an internship from one of the top accounting firms. Before I graduate from my bachelor degree in January 2011, I want to get a full time job offer in taxation. At the same time, I will be going for my master degree. I want to spend five to eight years in the corporate world and going for continue education every year after I graduate from my master degree.

Avoidance

During the entire class discussion, I would categorize myself to be Avoidance. At the being, I was thinking of participating in the discussion, but I found that there were so many people try really hard to get their ideas out. I found it hard to get my point of view across. Slowly, I became a listener; I want to hear what everyone thinks. As time passed by, there were couple good ideas came out, but wasn’t the ideal answer which can satisfy everyone. At this point, our very low influence Leader came out again, and then we finalized everything according the each category. I feel satisfy for the final result even though I didn’t do any participation.
The only thing I think that we can improve is time management, but I also believed the great ideas always came out last. Professor gave us total of around 35 minutes to finish this task. I think we should use two minutes to think about what we really looking for in each category. And then, we can use twenty minutes to gather all the information from all the classmates. We still have thirteen minutes left, so we can use eight minutes to finalize the whole results and two minutes to do the first voting. That left us with three minutes which we might need for other adjustment in case the first vote didn’t go through for the whole class.

"Just Do it "

Our team names our egg: “Just Do It.” The whole activity is very interesting and fun. At the beginning of the activity, our team emerged a leader which came up with some cushion form of protection design. The whole protection design is going to cover only 50% of the egg. We worried about the other 50% of the egg. There are couple problems that we discover about the design. For example, what if the egg landed and bounce to the other side, the side without protection. After couple suggestions, we decided to use 1/5 of the straw as a protection to the side, so that will limit some bouncing effect for the cushion design. Once we had finalized our design, we created step by step process to create the design.

During the implement phase, one of our team members had scissor with her, so fighting for the only scissor is not a concern for our group. This gave us the full team power to focus. Professor told us that we are only going to get eight straws and one egg. For the one and only one egg, we had a team member whose only responsibility is to hold the egg. There are two people cutting the straws and the tape. Our leader is making the triangle cushion protection. Everyone of us took a responsibility in this activity. Even though we didn’t succeed at the end, but it was a fun exercise for all our members.
