When 16-year-old Amisha Ramdin announced her interest in writing 20 subjects at the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations, the Saint Ignatius Secondary School student was met with both encouragement and skepticism.
Now, not only is Ramdin the top performer for Region Nine at this year’s CSEC examinations, she is also among the country’s top CSEC performers overall.
Ramdin says her fascination with her uncle’s work as a doctor combined with her love for children has set her on a path towards seeking to become a paediatric surgeon.
