I failed accounting I with a 30%.

I have now been in public for 12 years (6 at a B4) and have taught college classes the last 2 years and given CPE classes to people all over the country.

Wish I could say it was because I was partying too much (which I was), but it was more that I just couldn’t understand accounting. Almost failed cost accounting too and had to take a W.

Also was the only person in my intern class of 25ish that didn’t get an offer.

Now I’m a top performer constantly have to turn down offers from partners of other firms in the area.

I wish I could say I did something magical, but nope. I just had a manager when I first started at B4 who took me under her wing and taught me everything. Now many years later she calls me to bounce ideas.
