"If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you" : Steve Jobs 

After putting my foot into the 20s, I have come to see a lot of ambitions, aspirations, and expectations from myself to achieve something commendable till the beginning of 30s. I believe these ten years of life play a very crucial role in shaping our future. That's why I want to spend this decade of my life learning and dedicating towards higher education. An integral part of it would be pursuing an undergraduate degree in accounting and finance after I graduate from Red River College. Along with my academic discipline, I want to explore myself in different norms that would uplift my professional career as well. These norms would be volunteering at different non-profitable organizations, travelling and giving enough time for self-improvement. After this, I have planned to go for an MBA or Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, which would open new possibilities for me into the corporate world and help me acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to become an eloquent finance professional. Certainly, my goal at the age of 30 is to become an Investment Banker. Hence, I see myself slowly and steadily reaching towards it around 10 years.

Personal Mission Statement

"Getting ready to become someone, that I believe is meaningful": Sumesh Sharma

I personally believe being meaningful in this world is far ahead and better than being successful, because becoming a meaningul person requires to do the work which is neccessitious in the society and  demands decent contribution. Becoming a meaninful person makes one a selfless person. There is no doubt that success makes us more reputable, accountable and well-requested but being meaningul makes us more dedicated, compassionate and a person who serves a definite purpose in everyone's plate.

What role my career will play into the society?

Ultimately, as I mentioned previously I want to pursue an undergraduate degree majoring in Accounting and Finance and then an MBA or CFA designation because, I see accounting and finance are the necessitious arms of business. Businesses today require professionals who practice strong financial acumen, and knowledge that makes the business, eventually the country a sovereign nation. This judgement makes me believe that finance is what running the current world order. As a reason, Canada becoming a global hub for entrepreneurship and business establishment through immigration, finance people would definitely play a major significance in the superior financial management of the businesses.Having a financially strong intellect, is not only good for the better management of country's businesses, but also a constructive path to educate people on how to be a more wealth dominated nation that would significantly drop down its unemployment rate. Moreover, the track to become a good professional starts from becoming a good student first. This belief system of becoming a good student not only in business stream but also in other various occupations contributes in country's overall growth and upliftment, as country's students and young people are its structural backbone.
