I look forward to joining theManagement & Organizational Studies program in the University of Waterloo. Waterloo will support me in developing my accounting knowledge and pursue my goal of becoming a chartered accountant which is extremely important to me as I have grown up in a family of accountants. Being 18, I believe I have a good mix of enthusiasm and energy in pursuing this goal and the ability to apply my existing knowledge. Growing up in Dubai has exposed me to cultural diversity, thus making it easier for me to adapt to the environment at Waterloo.

After my course at the University of Waterloo I would like to join a reputed accounting firm and obtain my chartered accountancy articleship.
