Reader Spotlight || Busola Ayelowo

If you follow me on Instagram or facebook, you would have probably seen my post introducing this new segment on my blog ‘Reader Spotlight”.
If you haven’t, this is something I’ve been meaning to start for a while now.
Reader Spotlight is basically a way to sort of give back, finally stop yapping all about myself day in and out on my blog (seriously, don’t you guys get tired of reading about me? Lol) and get to know my readers better.
Let’s meet our first reader in this category!

Hi Busola, Please can you tell us a bit about you?

My name is Busola Grace Ayelowo, 22 years old Nigerian but currently living in far away Russia. I’m a medical student in my 5th year currently studying at Crimea federal university Simferopol 

Oh yay! Medical student! Just like myself a short while ago. I always have a soft spot for fellow medical students, I feel like we are kind of connected already. Haha. Please can you share with us some of your interests/passions

I have a great passion for kids, the very reason I decided to enrol into medical school so as to help them as I plan to specialize in pediatrics. I hate to see the little ones get hurt by things they have no control over!  I also love cooking. I’m a sucker for good food so it’s only normal I love it

That’s really lovely! About the kids and pediatrics thing, I mean. They couldn’t pay me enough to specialize in paediatrics. I feel so bad when I see doctors prick premature babies but then who knows, if the pay is right. Lol. I’m with you on the food thing though but cooking isn’t one of my hobbies.
What are some challenges you face and what keeps you going?

My greatest challenge right now would have to be gender inequality …. Prayer and family keeps me going 

I would have loved to expantiate on the gender inequality thing and how its a challenge to you in particular but I didn’t think of that earlier, though its like they say ‘family is everything’ and prayers will get you far (Okay, I’m not sure anyone says that but it works) Whats your dream career/how you are working to achieve that….. Or not 

I want to become a pediatric surgeon and I’m more than half way to fulfilling that ! 

Yes you definitely are! Whats your favourite quote/advice that has helped you in life?

Whatever you are, be a good one -Abraham Lincoln

Currently loving ?

I am currently loving the G65 Mercedes Benz 

Lol, I have no idea about cars but that sounds badass! Can you share one random fact about you?

I forced my way to medical contrary to all the advice that I would be better in the fashion or entertainment industry 

Hayyy! Were your parents/siblings amongst those giving that advice?. That will be really surprising, knowing how African parents are. Lol. I love your drive girl!  What are some/any life lesson(s) you’ve learnt lately that you wish you knew earlier?

I learnt early in life that you can be anything but should never be ungrateful.
I’ve also learnt that in life you are going to meet different people from different tribes and morals raised in diverse ways! So I should never judge or assume they should know or thinking like me

True that! These days I try to use that as an excuse for people and I’ve realized that it makes dealing with people a lot easier. 
Is there any tip you’ll like to share?  ( could be anything : photography tip, tips to keep organized, food tip/secret recipe etc ) 

If  you’re cooking for someone important — whether it’s your boss or a date — never try a new recipe and a new ingredient at the same time. 

Haha! That’s like fishing for disaster, thanks for the friendly reminder.
Finally, Is there by chance anyway (style/life) that reading my blog has helped you? (Or not. Lol), I’ll really love to know. 

Yes actually, this look was inspired by this outfit post from your blog. 

                     Awww! ^_^
Thank you so much Busola for reading my blog and taking time out of your day to chat with me and answer my questions, I truly appreciate you!
