Draft Assessment 1
This post contains my draft for Assessment 1. This has been the longest and most challenging assessment I have completed so far, and one that pushed me well outside my comfort zone. From learning new concepts to creating and managing a blog for the first time, this task required persistence, reflection and a lot of problem solving. While it was difficult at times, I am proud of what I have produced and of the learning that has come from the process.

Step 5 - Key Concepts and Questions (KCQs)
KCQ 1 – The Accounting Equation as a Way of Organising Thinking The accounting equation was one of the few concepts in these chapters that made me stop and reread the page more than once. Assets = liabilities + equity is something I have seen before, but I had never really understood it beyond a rule that had to be followed. This time, it felt different. I began to see the equation as a way of organising how a business exists rather than something that sits in a textbook. Eve

My Three Favourite Blogs
ACCT11059:Shelly's Blog https://shellywilliams68984a5875-gytil.wordpress.com/ I really enjoyed reading your blog because your learning journey mirrors my own so closely. Starting with a Cert III through local council, progressing to a Diploma and now undertaking a Bachelor degree is exactly the same pathway I have followed. It was refreshing and encouraging to see someone else reflect on the value of building skills step by step while balancing work and study. Your story rein

Key Concepts and Questions - Step 1
KCQ 1 – Accounting as a Way of Seeing a Business As I read the Introduction and Chapter 1, the biggest shift in my thinking came from seeing accounting described as a way of understanding a business rather than just recording numbers. For most of my life, accounting felt mechanical. In high school I memorised templates without ever grasping why they were structured that way, and later when I worked in data entry, I could complete tasks but never understood how the entries con

Standing on the Stage: The Power of Showing Up for Students
There is something special about standing behind a podium at a school event. It is not the microphone or the stage lights or even the formal setting. It is the faces in the audience. Students looking up, curious, hopeful, unsure, excited, all at different stages of discovering who they are and who they might become. This photo captures a moment where I was reminded why showing up matters. Not just as a speaker, but as a role model. As adults, we often underestimate the impact

The Balancing Act: Finding Space for Work, Study and Life
There are days when life feels like a perfectly organised calendar, and then there are days when it feels like I am holding everything together with a hair tie and a prayer. This photo captures one of the rare moments where I stopped, took a breath and reminded myself that balance is not something we find once. It is something we create over and over again. Study, work, life… and a little sunshine to keep it all together. Juggling the Roles We Choose and the Ones That Choose
