Ritika Barat, a 17-year-old student from Mumbai’s Ryan International School, had a tough time leading up to her ICSE 2023 exams. While her peers were busy preparing, she was dealing with an ovarian tumour that landed her in the hospital for weeks. Despite the fear and uncertainty, Ritika refused to give up on her dream of acing the exam and making her family and school proud. She underwent an emergency operation just days before the exam and was discharged with little time to spare. Despite feeling weak and tired, Ritika summoned all her strength and appeared for the exam, determined to achieve her goal. Her indomitable spirit is an inspiration to all those facing challenges on their path to success.
“In spite of all the mental and physical agony I was in, my family, principal and school teachers came to my support and motivated me to be strong. I made up my mind to not let my situation become an excuse and a cause of regret in the future. No matter how much you study, life gives you the best lesson,” she said, as per a report in Hindustan Times.
