A Secondary School Certificate (SSC) student has impressed all who know him after he opted to appear for his board exam from a hospital bed despite being severely injured in an accident on Wednesday. Prompt action by the school and state board officials led to a unique arrangement that allowed Ethen Estebeiro—an SSC student from St Stanislaus High School, Bandra—to take the exam on Thursday morning, with the assistance of a writer.
Ethen was struck by a biker along Mahim causeway early on Wednesday morning. He suffered a collarbone fracture and several severe bruises on his body, including his face. He is admitted to S L Raheja Hospital in Mahim. According to Ethen’s parents, they attempted to reassure him, suggesting he could skip the exams and appear the following year. However, the Mahim resident remained steadfast. His parents then informed the school and its principal notified the Mumbai Divisional Board office. Within a day, all necessary paperwork and permissions were secured, while the hospital administration transformed an isolation ward into an exam hall.
