Diary #9: Strength through experience

Heyy Guys :):):)

So this week has been an inspirational and educational week for me. Because I was given the opportunity to attend the 2011 CPA Congress.

As some of you guys are aware; I was selected to become a CPA Student Ambassador for this semester. And the experience was WORTH WILD :) . I've met some of the most friendliest and interesting people throughout this whole 'journey' and they were even nice enough to share some of their inside stories on how they go to where they are now. :) . Along with meeting new people; I also got to meet a bunch of new faces that were also Student Ambassadors at the other Universities.

Even though being a Student Ambassador I didn't get paid; it gave me the experience that most companies and corporations wouldn't give me (unless I have the experience before hand T__T). 

CPA Congress is a 3 day event, which includes talks and participation engagement. This year's theme was 'Journey Through Experience'. Some of the talks I found was really interesting and some not so interesting :S. Attending this event, has really 'opened' my eyes to other career opportunities with the business/ corporate world.

Just a BIG Thank you to CPA for allowing me to be apart of this 'CPA Journey'  :)

So here are some pictures of CPA Congress that I've attended. *NOTE: I only attended Day 1 and 3*

The Grand Ball Room: Before the opening ceremony - Day One

Outside the Grand Ball Room - Day One

The opening speech - Day One

Day Three: The Business Lucheon
We sat with a guy which we met at the CPA Perth Office Opening Night
a few months back. Even though I can't recall his name 
[I just called him the elevator guy cause 
he was the 1st person I met that night on the elevator]
He decided to sit with us :) Was nice seeing him again :)
