School starts with 7 AM class!

Today is the last day of my semestral break vacation and tomorrow is the first day of my last sem in college. It'll be hard waking for that  7 AM class, when I know that my teacher strictly checks the attendance as soon as she arrives in the classroom. She rarely comes late, if she does, she'll only be late for a maximum of ten minutes. She was once my teacher in Auditing and Assurance, and I have been often late in her class. I think our class started at 9 in the morning and she would always tell me every time I came late, " Miss Delgado, our class starts at 9". Of course, I was seated in the second row, and I kinda felt embarrassed before. However, once you have the habit of coming to class late, that feeling of embarrassment will just slowly go away.

But I have to focus this last sem. I have four integrated review subjects and this time, for the last time, I have to take theme seriously. It won't be long and I will too become a CPA.

In certain situations, no safeguards are available to eliminate or reduce the threat to an acceptable level. Hence, the ...
