I was a guy who loved having long hair, but in medical school, they don't usually allow high hairstyles or bushy hair. Growing hair just wasn't permitted for no apparent reason. If the girls were allowed to carry their braids or pride comfortably with their Bob-Marley hairstyles, then why couldn't the guys keep and grow their hair too?
Well, during my final year, I decided to grow a little bit of hair. I tried my best to maintain it, aiming for a look that was both disciplined and not just reckless.
After visiting a saloon after the end of last semester, I was able to pick just the perfect hairstyle.
Now, this semester, I have been questioned by some staff members about my hairstyle, but it seemed like they were targeting us without any real reason. What was it really about? The hairstyle?, they always asked. It felt unnecessary , and I couldn't help but wonder why they placed so much emphasis on our appearance when our focus should be on our studies and future as medical professionals.
Surprisingly, I had always found a way to distracte their attention up till now. How I had been able to be the only student to keep this kind of long strands remains a big win for me.
