They thought that Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) is probably one of the most difficult strand in Senior High School. Some of the students are afraid because they may encounter a math problem. Also, some of them are afraid to take this strand because they thought that this is only for an intelligent students and have a knowledge about the Math.

I can say that this perception is wrong because like me I’m not really good in Math but I choose to take the strand. In reality, this strand is need more an analyzing skill and of course you must know how to compute a fundamentals operations simply addition, subtraction and so on because you need it to balance a financial sheets. I experienced a lot of new things and learnings from it. Being an ABM student makes me more patient and responsible especially when it comes on the activities and performance tasks that I need to do. It makes me become more serious on studying because our subjects are not easy and it requires hard work to pass on it.
