Rocio Maldonado, Texas A&M University-Commerce, Authentic Student Portrait




I was the first to go to college out of my, out of all my
sisters and my brother, so I liked it here because it was small
and I knew it was going to be ok. I wasn't going to get lost,
I was going to
learn everything quick here and
I really needed to do that so that I could pass that on to
my other siblings.
I'm studying accounting right now.
I chose that because I took an accounting class in high school,
and I loved it, I loved everything about it, the
whole concept of it,
the technology, how it
shapes everybody's life and everything.
I really enjoyed the classes when I started on my accounting classes
<br><br>
because the professors that I had, especially one of my professors,
Miss Virginia Fullwood,
she was always interacting with us and helping us out and she made everything
that we were learning
connect to what's really happening in the world right now. In the IFRS, which
is the International Financial Reporting Standards,
that's what they're beginning to do right now, what they're expecting new
accountants to know when they come out of college.
So I thought it was really interesting
that she showed us about that and how it
pertained to everyday business.

Other accountants that have been out, don't
have all the knowledge for that
because it's news so i really liked that

she was integrating that into the class already.
At first it was pretty scary that I came from a different country

because it was totally different,
but now that I'm in school, and now that I'm studying business,

I actually think it works to my advantage
because I know the culture

and I think that's very important because
you want to be respectful to people, you want to know
how they interact with each other
because you need to know that in order to do good business
