Introduction!

     Hi, my name is Anastasia Bozovic and I am a freshman at North Central. I am currently on the women's tennis program here. I am majoring in Marketing and really want to get involved in PR as well as maybe minor in Sports Management or Communications. Before enrolling in college here I really thought I would minor in Accounting, but ever since I took Financial Accounting last semester my plans have changed. 

    My aunt is an accountant and she really embodies a strong woman. So growing up, I always looked up to her and how well she deals with numbers and computers. I think I was more infatuated with the idea of just being her than with the work it takes to be where she was. I was incredibly humbled my first day in Financial Accounting, but thankfully, one of my teammates was in class with me. So, therefore, we struggled together. I also went to many office hours and really tried to make myself like accounting, but in the end I realized that if I wasn't getting it right off the bat, then I'd never truly comprehend it. My aunt always says that you either get it or you don't. 

    All in all, I utilized my resources and continued to go to office hours as well as staying in touch with my Professor whenever I needed help. I went to tutors and eventually my C- turned into a B- by the end of the semester. Accounting is a requirement for my major, and the thought of having to take that class again was overwhelming. I put in the work and it really payed off in the end, even if I didn't enjoy the process of getting there.

    In terms of this semester, and specifically Card 102, I really enjoy how we start every class with free writing. In my personal experience, I feel like I haven't done something like that since middle school. It allows me to really touch on my emotions and mindset on that day instead of just bottling things in.
