A young man asked Mozart how to write a symphony. Mozart replied, “You are too young to write a symphony.” The man said, “You were writing symphonies when you were 10 years of age.” Mozart said, “Yes, but I didn’t ask how to do it.”

TLDR;; if you’re a student then you’re a student, if you disagree, don’t ask, just do it and you will be recognized if your aim is true.
