I always find it helpful to have people below you and above you.

I posted an advertisement the other day on kijiji, saying that I would tutor people for money.

Someone saw my ad, and soon after that I was tutoring a high school student in Introduction to Financial Accounting. So essentially I've been getting paid to study CFE material stuff lol.

Just today my student asked me about financial ratios. I laughed and told him, just last week I had to do the financial ratio analysis for my group project as part of Capstone 1!

So again, having someone below you can be very helpful.

I cleaned my room because of my student.

I also cleaned my bathroom, and I organized a bunch of stuff. I make sure I shave and look professional. Okay, tutoring in one's own room is not super professional lol. But it's fine. I have an optimal study environment in my room: tons of sunlight, tons of highlighters, pens, pencils, an amazing round table. It's great! I love it for studying!

And having people above you is really helpful as well.

I've read in a number of interviews that people have mentors. I have a mentor, I won't say who he is. But IMO he's lazy lol. So I think I need a better mentor. It's pretty hard to find one isn't it? Or is it? I think I might need to pay thousands of dollars for a mentor using a site like PrepFormula? Or should I look elsewhere. Maybe my mentor is good... I doubt it man... I doubt it... But... Maybe he's great! I don't wanna waste his time. He is a partner at the firm I used to work at, so I'm reluctant to ask him to mark my cases. I think PrepFormula would be great. Lemme check something...Yup, so my past membership to PrepFormula is still valid. A lot of their resources look really good. They also do case marking. I dunno, I'll see how this turns out... Okay... That sounds bad lol. I'll ensure that I do get to do practice cases, and I have them marked.

I have a group meeting with my capstone 1 group tomorrow. Going to make sure my part is on point. And uhhh.. Yeah. *Yawn* I'm tired. I'm going to keep trying to learn and memorize the enabling competencies.

My thoughts to end this post: We have a limited time to be awake everyday, make use of that time and absorb what you need to!
