　　在美國接受了Stoyan的難民身份期間，他沒有高中的畢業(yè)證而且無法將他的俄國成績單及時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)到加州圣地亞哥州立大學(xué)以便進(jìn)入會(huì)計(jì)專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)。接下來他在當(dāng)?shù)氐纳鐓^(qū)大學(xué)先就讀了兩年，但是當(dāng)他被加州圣地亞哥州立大學(xué)錄取后他意識(shí)到了自己追求的目標(biāo)。他被選為會(huì)計(jì)榮譽(yù)協(xié)會(huì)加州圣地亞哥州立大學(xué)分會(huì)職業(yè)發(fā)展的副會(huì)長，這是一個(gè)面向金融信息和會(huì)計(jì)專業(yè)學(xué)生的榮譽(yù)組織。Stoyan還在畢馬威會(huì)計(jì)師事務(wù)所進(jìn)行了實(shí)習(xí)，做過校園和當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的志愿者，每周工作20到30個(gè)小時(shí)。

　　美國CPA協(xié)會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)學(xué)術(shù)和職業(yè)發(fā)展的副會(huì)長Jeannie Patton說：“Andrey A.Stoyan克服祖國的歧視并至終實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己的夢(mèng)想成為美國會(huì)計(jì)師的故事，將會(huì)鼓舞激勵(lì)世界上很多處于相同困境的人們。他的堅(jiān)持不懈、刻苦和對(duì)自己社區(qū)的奉獻(xiàn)精神使他成為這次‘會(huì)計(jì)榮譽(yù)協(xié)會(huì)鼓舞獎(jiǎng)’的至佳人選?！?/p>

　　Stoyan 今年秋季將作為BDO美國一家領(lǐng)先的會(huì)計(jì)和咨詢機(jī)構(gòu)的全職審計(jì)會(huì)計(jì)師并有資格在9月份申請(qǐng)加入美國國籍。

The American Institute of CPAs awarded recent college graduate Andrey A. Stoyan the Beta Alpha Psi’s Medal of Inspiration Award during the honor organization’s annual meeting in Anaheim this August.

The AICPA-sponsored award, with $5,000 cash stipend, is given to a student who has achieved success despite extreme hardships and adversity in his or her life.

Stoyan, a 2013 San Diego State University accounting graduate, emigrated from Russia in 2008 to escape social intolerance and oppressive discrimination with only $1,000 and a limited knowledge of the English language.

“I wanted to share my story because I see many people discouraged by the hardships they face in life, especially when it comes to education, and I really hope that it can inspire someone who faced some adversities in life – be that related to education, economic situation, or mistreatment, abuse, and resentment from society,” Stoyan stated.

While the United States granted Stoyan asylum, he didn’t have a high school diploma or GED and was unable to transfer his Russian transcripts to immediately enroll in SDSU’s accountancy program. Following two years at a local community college, however, Stoyan realized his goal when he was accepted by SDSU. There, Stoyan was elected vice president of professional development of SDSU’s chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the honors organization for financial information and accounting students. He also interned with KPMG, volunteered on campus and in the local community, and worked 20 to 30 hours per week.

“Andrey’s story of overcoming discrimination in his homeland and ultimately realizing his dream of becoming an accountant in the United States is an inspiration to those around the world who find themselves in similar situations,” said Jeannie Patton, AICPA vice president of academics, professional pathways and inclusion, in a statement. “His perseverance, hard work and dedication to his community made him an ideal choice for the Medal of Inspiration Award.”

Stoyan will begin working as a full-time audit accountant with BDO this fall and is eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship in September.
