Well done on your first published essay, Olalekan! The main thing that stands out to me is that you learned something from being vulnerable (admitting to being imperfect) and that you will continue leaning into this in future. Especially enjoyed the internal dialogues - you capture the internal struggle perfectly.

I like the fact that this is so real... We always want to paint our lives as perfect, however, nobody as it all perfect. Nice writeup Olalekan!
