Q How do you cope with your studies while delivering with foodpanda?

WHY?
I'm proud to be a rider because it is not an easy task.
Q Do your friends/parents know you deliver for foodpanda? What are their thoughts about it?

Q What advice would you give to students like yourself who wish to deliver with foodpanda whilst furthering their studies?
A:Be humble and know your limits. Ultimately, studies should come before earning money. Always stay safe and ride carefully!
L:Practise good time management so you can work and study at the same time.
