"But if I am asked if it is advisable to accept a full-time role while studying, I don't know what my response would be."
This is still a recurring thought in my head months after starting working full-time for Afrocritik and Cheesemonger. I'm writing my exams. I juggle the thoughts of the exam and the fact that I have stories, interviews, and pieces I need to complete its draft. I must read and I must pass. But, it's just impossible to mute by a commitment to these jobs. Not because they pay but because the job represents who I want to be — a boy from Ajegunle who earns through writing.
I love that you didn't offer an outright answer to the questions you raised.
Thanks, Ahmad. Really, thanks for writing this.

Ahmad, you made vulnerability appealing.
