BREAKING NEWS World Biggest Chutney Show To Return Guyana NATIONAL STADIUM MARCH 18TH 2023

Essequibo youth who copped 27 subjects at this year’s CSEC rewarded by businessman Businessman Azruddin Mohamed earlier today met with 17-year-old Ramoll Babolall of Anna Regina Multilateral School student who secured passes in 27 subjects including 24-grade ones and 3-grade twos…

Guyana, South America: Given her success at the 2022 Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations, seventeen-year-old Leezo Prasad of Skeldon Line Path Secondary School, Guyana now has her eyes set on becoming a neurosurgeon, a specialty she finds intriguing.

Based on the preliminary results which were recently released, the Number 72 Village, East Berbice-Corentyne, Guyana resident secured 16 Grade Ones and one Grade Two. With those results, she is her region’s top performer.

Filled with inspiration to help others and having an interest in the brain, how fundamentally important it is for the functioning of the entire body and the intricacies of how it works, the teen wants to become a neurosurgeon.

“I find the brain quite fascinating. It’s a very complex organ. I want to be able to help people and I also noticed that’s a specialty not a lot of persons take up so I did some research on the field and how many neurosurgeons there are and found that its quite limited. So, I would like to be in that field where I could offer help. I feel this is my calling,” she told the Guyana Chronicle on Tuesday.

While admitting that this goal is going to be quite challenging on many fronts, she is hoping to get a scholarship to pursue her studies overseas, which will challenge her capabilities. On completion of those studies, she plans to return to Guyana to serve her country.

She expressed optimism that she can achieve her goal given that her family has been her bedrock. With their continued support, she is confident that she can make her dream come true.

Her father, Deodat Prasad is now a pensioner. He toiled his entire life as a labourer to provide for Leezo and her two older sisters, while her mother, Padmawattie Khoobia, managed the affairs of the home.

The two older sisters, who are Leezo’s role models, are teachers. They were instrumental in teaching her from an early age, the importance of a proper study routine and also instilling good reading and researching habits.

Their assistance not only helped her to establish a routine but it allowed her to teach herself five of the subjects she wrote.

Additionally, her mother stayed up with her at nights and ensured she had snacks and other things to eat and drink while studying. Her mother also ensured that she had a limited number of chores so that she could focus on her studies. Aside from the provision of finances, her father provided moral support.

“I liked to study but it was hard because I had to deal with noise nuisances, power outages, muddy street – I had to walk out to go to school, unstable internet connections and being able to learn new subjects along the way by myself…my family especially and my teachers were there to support me and just seeing the pride and joy from my parents’ reaction when we were watching the live feed was worth every single challenge. They were so happy and excited, they cried, we all cried and even now they cannot stop smiling,” she added.

The young lady also expressed gratitude to her teaches, siblings, parents, friends and everyone who supported and encouraged her throughout her academic journey.

Let's hear your stories about Guyana

I was born in Guyana, and migrated to NY when I was six years old. One thing I always loved about it here, is the red water creeks and endless rivers, especially since my backyard is the Demerara river. But as I started to meet other people from different countries, I was met with a lot of jokes about Guyana and about how our water is brown and not blue like everyone else’s. I learned recently that Georgetown, Guyana lies about six feet below sea level so the water is brown like the melanin in our skin. It’s filled with a brown richness because of the “silt and soil from three great rivers, Brazil’s Amazon, Venezuela's Orinoco and Guyana's largest river, the Essequibo”

So no our waters are not crystal clear and blue like many Caribbean’s, but it’s pure and natural, beautiful in its own way. & the word “Guyana” has actually derived from the word “Guiana” meaning land of many waters! That ends my lesson for the day loll thanks for reading ❤️
