    Just curious – what are you good at?

    For me, I have found that people come to me to talk about their problems and get advice. Guess I’m a good listener, strong person, and don’t put up with crap from anyone. I wanted to be a psychiatrist when I was younger.

    I also think that I am good at dancing, in particular, tap dancing. It’s in the genes. My grandma used to teach line-dancing classes and my mom danced in college. I’m a dancin fool, lol.

    FAR - 76
    AUD - 88!!! DONE!!!!!!!!
    BEC - 76
    REG - 77

    never, never, never give up

    Funny that I have lots of friends that come to me with their issues…..and most of the time I don’t want to listen to their crap. I guess I am a good friend 😉

    I like to bake and cook, just when I want, not all the time. I am also good with planning event and with kids. I wanted to be a pediatrician, but got scared with the program and all the years of studying LOL

    Done 😉
    Class of 2012!!!!
    Lots of prayers and hard work....

    Nothing, and I'm not that good at accounting either;)

    After much self-analysis I have come to find that I am not incredibly good at anything in particular. If I was, I would probably be doing that instead of public accounting.

    I am a natural-born artist. I am very creative. I am very Right-Brained dominate. I was always at the top of the class as best artists in every year of school, including when I went to art school at Columbia College in Chicago. If I wasn't afraid of needles and blood, a tattoo artist would be the perfect career for me. They get paid between $150 and $300 dollars an hour. If you're a famous tattoo artist you can charge as much as $500 an hour.

    What's ironic is that I'm getting into a Left-Brain dominated career of accounting. That's why I think I struggle with the time limit on the exam b/c it takes me longer than Left-brained people who enjoy math and can process numbers logically and sequentially. When I see 3 different dates in a MCQ I start to get angry and confused. Right-brained people focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity. They are random, subjective, and look at the big picture instead of focusing on parts of the picture like Left-brainers. So I guess I'm at a natural disadvantage from the start when tackling the CPA exam. That's the price you pay when you're very good at creative stuff, you suffer on the opposite tasks of logical and math oriented work.

    @ Marivy I love cooking as well! I miss it so much! It seems when I do have time to, by the time I go to the store, prepare it and finally sit down I only have an hour or so to study before my mind gets too tired. I can't do that study until my eyes bleed thing, its more like re-read the words and never have them click because my mind is snoozing…

    Anyway, I also play soccer and have since I was 6. Before these exams I was playing on a rec team and I can not wait to go back! Running is also one of my favorite things, I do half-marathons about every year, but again, this exam is really killing my endurance.

    I am also just too social for my own good. I am always surrounded by good company and good times to be had. I love it, and can't wait until I can engage with my friends without guilt!

    In other news, I am asking for a coffee pot for my birthday! Long hours here I come!

    I am good at helping people with their problems (I also considered being a psychologist). I love to teach people how to do stuff! I'm looking into teaching a night class at a local technical school. I'm also good at managing emotional situations (I've had to do that a bit being on the board of directors for a roller derby league). I love to sing, although my voice isn't amazing or anything – good enough to be a small role in a local musical maybe, but that's about it. 🙂 II played the clarinet for about 10 years but haven't picked it up lately…

    I'm good at making people feel good about themselves. I rarely hold back a compliment. People don't hear enough good stuff about themselves, and I feel like almost any positive (and appropriate) thought that comes to my mind about someone should be shared. I feel the opposite about negative things.

    I love to snowboard, hike, run and mountain bike (I have a mountain bike that is worth around $2,000). I love group fitness classes, especially cardio kickboxing. I can't do any of that for a while since I injured my knee. But I will eventually!

    I was a semifinalist in the Washington Post Peeps diorama contest in 2009, with my “Peeps of Wrath” entry:

    @diane – that is too funny!! You did a great job! I saw in the article that you're from Arlington. I used to live in Fairfax.
