Whoa! Congratulations! Your perseverance and drive are really evident! I sincerely appreciate you sharing.

I understand what you’re going through. I have a degree in Linguistics from my home country, but after moving to the US, I decided to switch to accounting. After 4.5 years back in school, I graduated with a Master’s in Accounting and had a four-month-old baby at the time. I started my career when my baby was just 5 months old, in January. There were many times I wanted to give up, but my husband has been my biggest supporter. I’m not a CPA yet, but your post reminds me that I’m not alone in this journey.
