Introduce myself

Hi All,

My name is Luping Zhang, English name goes by Sharon. I am Beijing, China. I have been living in California for 14 years. I went to Canada for school in Toronto and then move to LA to meet my parents who were transferred by their work. I was there 7 years before I got married and move to San Jose stay with my husband.

My goal is to get an accounting degree, maybe CPA if I could. (I usually don’t like set my goal “too far”, because I might think it will be “too hard and too long” to get to.) In Canada I was Computer Science major. I never thought I could be an accountant. In my previous job in a travel agency in LA, my boss moved me from another department to Accounting Department. I start to love the job even since. I surprised how much I like the profession. My mom must be very happy, because that’s the job she always wants me to do. Since I like the job, I thought why not get a degree. Canada’s education system is a little different then US, so I have to take much more General Educations. (In Canada we only need to take 20 units which are four courses in GE. Here are double.) I took this class for transfer requirement of SSJ. Hopfully I could transfer later this year or next year.

I love traveling, movies, music, outdoor activities and…… of course shopping. Hah… Since I have full time job, and goes to school at night, I usually have very limit time to go shopping during the school time. My new hobby is outdoor exercise. I take walk by the shore during my lunch break when I am at work. It makes my mind clear, and I love the fresh air. It is health and fresh. I hope I could keep this habit even my schedule is crazily tight.
