TETE-A-TETE (INTERVIEW SEGMENT):

For this week’s TETE-A-TETE segment, meet our first guest... @zoneboy in the building.

• LETS MEET YOU.

I am Ola from Kwara state in Nigeria. I am a graduate of microbiology from Kwasu (Kwara state university) currently in my early 20's.

• WHY DO YOU LOVE @AIR-CLINIC?

It's not easy to survive on the Steem Blockchain.
I remember when @eurogee mentioned air-clinic. I knew it's going to be a success because it's like deviating from the norms.The norms being supporting minnows/bring new members into steemit. Air-clinic is different. A clinic on the Steem Blockchain offering health advice to users is something. As a Microbiologist, you can only be proud of that innovation.

• HIGH AND LOW POINTS ON #STEEMIT.

My high point on steemit hmmm. I got many but joining the Utopian Team is the highest. I always want to join any project that has the community in mind. Utopian fits in.I don't have any low point. My steemit journey is not a smooth ride though, but I am that guy that doesn't let little things bother him. Once I pour out my mind. It's all over. So no low point

• CHALLENGES/ SURVIVAL STORY IN YOUR SPECIALTY.

Microbiology is not an easy course. That course is wide. My school did not help matters too, 1-week exam.
I mean all the 12 courses must be completed within 1week. So you have to read before the exam date not just when it's exam time you now start reading. 'That Na fail' . Confam one!
I was able to survive all this by being dedicated and staying true to the game.

• MOTIVATION TO STUDY YOUR CAREER

When you ask most kids their favorite future job, most will answer I want to be a Doctor. However, when we all become a Doctor, who is going to provide support for the Doctors. Who's going to be the eyes and ears of the Doctor?
These are what motivated me to choose Microbiology.

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