comfortable.I by the grace of God, i am a writer,i have been writing
poetry,for 7 seven years.i have been so handicapped in my writing career ,i

publishing giants and personalities. recently,i entered a poetry competition

to raise money from,hence i am banking on my yields from my write ups.I am

attention.I am seriously thinking of quitting medical school. I implore you
please help me realise my dream of becoming a medical doctor and a
writer.please i am appealing to you for help,i have discussed, with a
publisher on line,who has agreed to publish my works,its a self
