Graduate opens up about how she resumed classes a week after giving birth
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that a lady had narrated how she returned to class a week after welcoming a baby.
At first, she wanted to take a year off to spend time with her baby but she realised that studying was going to be hard whether or not she is a parent.
So, a week after having her little girl, Sharon started attending classes.
It was hard at times and Sharon would often feel guilty about missing out on her baby's first couple of years of life but it was all worth it in the end.
