    Ayeeeeee that's my professorrrrrrr! Professor Enrique is not only a teacher that makes complex concepts palatable and fun, he has natural life coaching skills, so he be helping with getting that MINDSET right while we in class... (so I wrote this sentence in the beginning of the video.. now WOW, about 6 mins in, hearing your story...) learning now that your FATHER introduced these ways of thinking, believing, and perceiving the world at such a prime age of development. WOW. Pardon the shift, I'm listening while typing so revelations are happening and I'm flowing with it.... Prof Enrique: "Self-awareness & be humble".. listen, let me tell ya'll something, Professor Enrique stands ten toes down on his belief. I kid you not, I just left a community meeting (which both of these professors were 2 of 3 on the panel sharing tips on asking for recommendation, transferring to a 4-year college, etc.), and he gave the same advice. Professor Ming, I love that you and Professor Enrique took the opportunity to create online content during covid. So grateful to come through here and hear more about your story <3 massive love to you & your families. WOW! [I wrote all of this last week 5/4, but procrastination & not following through got me back here a week later, editing, and finally commenting. Take Care!]

      I got my internship by simply taking the initiative to e-mail the Taiwan office. Note that was 24 years ago. Today, if you want to get an internship internationally at a Big 4 CPA firm such as KPMG, you may have to apply formally through the U.S. office. I made another earlier with my student David Davis. The title is "Graduating College Debt Free." You can check that video out. He got his Deloitte internship in Australia by applying through the U.S. and simply requesting that he wanted to work internationally one Summer.

    Hi Professor Lu, how can I approach to a mentor who I have no connection whatsoever? What would be the best approach? And Should I stick on one mentor who I trust or should I try to find as many good mentors as I can (maybe like 4-5 mentors)? Thanks

    • @accountingisforyou8653

      You can start by reaching out to them and asking them a few questions that you feel that you can really benefit from their response. If they respond, you can slowly build a relationship with them. However, be mindful of their time. Most people are super busy. They may or may not want to take on any mentees. In regards to your second question, the more mentors you can find, the better. They will provide you with different perspectives.
