Well its week 7 already and we are getting stuck into our second assignment and its a big one. I think having little (well some big) parts due each week it really makes sure we stay on top and work through the tasks each week. This week for me has been a bit of a struggle to spend the time I want and need to spend on the tasks, but hopefully I can catch back up and get step 2 knocked over and then finish off step 3 and 4.
I have attached a copy of my draft for step 3 and my restated statements to hopefully get some good feedback on. Normally I like to submit my draft at the almost completed stage but unfortunately its not quite there. My statements are done, although I need to look into my SOCIE more to see if I have done it correctly. My word document has some areas I want to add in some information but I think a good chunk of what I want is in there.
Feedback would be much appreciated and I am looking forward to looking at some more of my peers work to see if I can help out.

Hi my name is Melissa, but most people call me Mel, I am currently studying Bachelor of Business majoring in Accounting part-time while I work full-time as an administration officer.
I am married to a wonderful man called Shaun and we have a beautiful five year old daughter named Kenzie. We live in Bundaberg, where we are lucky enough to have most of our family here and also a great big bunch of amazing people we call our friends.
We are a soccer family and all love to play on the weekends, although this year I am having the year off, which for my studies that will be very helpful, time wise. Although I will still be lucky enough to watch both Shaun and Kenzie play on Saturdays. Soccer for us it a great way to catch up with a lot of our friends and have a laugh or two. Apart from our soccer we love spending time with friends going to the beach or watching the footy having a few beers. When we can we love to go away camping and fishing and just having a great time together as a family.
I decided last year that I wanted to finally make the step and enroll in University. I chose to study Bachelor of Business majoring in Accounting because I have always had an interest in accounting and finances. I believe accounting for me can be a career which I can work hard at and achieve something I can be proud of and one that if I do well I can become someone that has great responsibility and value in the workplace. As well as deciding to study, I changed my employment after 11 years working at a pathology company as a Phlebotomist. I had been looking for a new job for some time but was finally given the opportunity to work as an administration officer for a local non-for-profit company. I wanted a career that I could build on and “climb the ladder” as such. Working as a phlebotomist, although was very interesting, rewarding and I meet a lot of different people, I was stuck with no where to go. Although there is only so far I can go as an admin officer, I believe it can be a great step towards my end goal of being an accountant.
Although a part of me wished I did take the step to go to university years ago I believe I have the maturity to really succeed at my studies. I am lucky enough to have great support around me with my husband, friends and family always encouraging me and going along with me in my journey. Now both Shaun and I together are starting new career paths, with me changing jobs and studying and Shaun just starting his electrical apprenticeship as a mature age apprentice.
Things are definitely on the up for us as a family, although it will take some time, hard work and sacrifices, in a couple years time we will have put our family into a great position that we can both be proud of.
Hope you have enjoyed getting to know me, I can’t wait to read about some of you!
Thanks for reading
Mel
