Starting with making his bed and selecting his church outfit, he moved quietly through his morning tasks, whispering to avoid disturbing his sleeping roommate.

Faith and future goals

Between spoonfuls of his morning porridge, Clareson opened up about juggling his content creation with academics. The former call centre worker has developed a strategic approach, recording content throughout his day and scheduling posts for 9 AM each morning. While he discussed how his commitment to excellence shines through in both his academic approach and content creation, he admitted:

"Nursing is just for the plot, because my real passion lies in business."

As a student in UJ's Department of Nursing, which prides itself on evidence-based courses and professional diversity, Clareson's dedication aligns perfectly with the institution's values. While his true passion lies in business and entrepreneurship, he emphasizes giving his best to his nursing studies, embodying the department's commitment to producing high-caliber healthcare professionals.

His methodical morning routine, from preparing his porridge to selecting his church attire, shows the kind of structured discipline that successful nursing students often develop.
