TETE-A-TETE (INTERVIEW SEGMENT):

*For this week’s TETE-A-TETE segment, meet our guest... - @bcrafts

Tell us about yourself

I am Ajasa Bolaji
A medical student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, though still in my preclinical days
A steemian by the username @bcrafts
A poet by nature, reader and an apt writer.
Once in a while a teacher as I help newbies on the path of steemit.

Why you love @air-clinic

I love air-clinic because the platform encourages both the medical and paramedical in Nigeria on the Steemit community, giving them the necessary assistant they need to be a good steemian.

High and low point on steemit

Highs of steemit would be when Steem and SBD were mooning, reaching to unprecedented heights
Lows would be when I joined the platform; I really suffered as I had no help until I met community projects like @steemnaira, @airhawk, @air-clinic and so on

How do you balance your steemit life and real life

This is a tough question, it ain't easy fam. As a medical student in preclinical, I am pretty sure we all know that it ain't easy. Reading Keith Moore, Guyton and co no easy. It pretty tough but I try as much as possible to balance both by writing on what I study.

Motivation to study your career.

One thing that has always spurred me on this path is the ability to serve humanity, helping individuals who need help health-wise and maybe for the money also.

Final words

If you are planning on being a medic, all that they told you Issa lie. It’s twice as tough as they said. All you need is to work extremely hard. It’s not easy being in this kind of study, takes your time, social life, and drains your energy.

OTHER INITIATIVES THAT "Steem-Medics" WILL BENEFIT FROM.
