- 1. "PERSONAL STATEMENT / MYSELF"Taxes and subsidies, ratios and
percentages, ledgers and their balances arethe most fascinating
things to me as I always enjoy crunching the numbers. Iworked
during my summer vacations, after the papers of matriculation at a
travelagency for book keeping the transactions of tickets sold
daily. As a novice, Iinitially found it difficult to handle but
gradually gaining experience from mymistakes and deepening my
understandings I was able to do the job efficientlywith enthusiasm.
This inflated in me the love for accounting and I decided topursue
my career in this field.Even though, many people are of the opinion
that failure is their bestfriend but for me failure is my ban. I am
not ashamed to admit that I am afraidof failure. When I was in
Fourth standard, I hated maths because I failed it inmid-term
examinations. This trepidation of failure made me a stronger person
ina way that I started to pay extra attention to the course of
maths and as aresult I secured 93 marks in final examinations. This
was the moment in my lifethat I finally began to appreciate maths
for what it really is.I always tried to study not just to gain
marks but also for the sake ofknowledge. My teachers always
acknowledge me as a good student and my name wasin their good books
most of the time. In addition to this, I also teachMathematics and
English to the students of O-levels and matric at a privatetuition
center that helps me exaggerate important concepts developing
mycommunication, presentation skills and increase my confidence. It
allows me toexplore innovative teaching methods and procure
expertise in the subjects.With academics, I never missed out any
extra-curricular activity. I enjoyedevery bit of inter-school
cricket and football tournaments as a team, however, Imanaged to
prioritize my tasks and use my time effectively. Managing
businessstalls and participating in different projects was not only
fun but also helpedme identify my capabilities. Being with mentally
handicapped children at Dar-ul-Sukun made me socially responsible
and provoked me to do, as much as I could,for them.Since Accounting
is strongly bonded with Mathematics, the person who iscompetent in
Maths vicinity could comfortably surpass in Financial
Accounting.Being currently the assistant teacher at college, I got
every chance to unlockthe mysteries of Maths and apply my
mathematical knowledge at other subjectstoo. Furthermore, I
received distinctions in Spellathon contest conducted byPeak Freans
and WWF. When I think of LUMS, the aspects that most impress me and
fan my desiresto immerse myself in the prestigious learning
environment are LUMS excellentresources. I hope to acquire valuable
skills in the field of FinancialAccounting to gain a stronghold in
modern competitive world.
