Hi there, my name is Perla, I'm 40 years old and I work as an accountant in this small town. My family moved here when I was a teenager and ever since then, it's been my home. I grew up with my parents and two younger brothers who both went on to become doctors. It was always expected of us that we would study hard and pursue careers that were deemed "respectable" by society.
I did what was expected of me at first, studying business administration in college and landing a job as an accountant shortly after graduation. But the more I got into my work, the more I realized how much I enjoyed it. Numbers have always been something that made sense to me, and working with them allowed me to feel like I was making a tangible impact on people's lives.
Despite being a bit of an outlier in my family, they have supported me through everything. My parents may not fully understand what it is that I do, but they are proud of me nonetheless. And my brothers may not see eye to eye with me on some things, but we still manage to keep a close relationship despite our differences.
Overall, I feel like I've found a sense of contentment in this small town, even if it isn't the most exciting place in the world. But I guess that's just part of growing up and finding your own path in life.
