While many children were burning the midnight oil gearing up to write the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) in good health, and with strong mind and retention skills, this was not the case for 11-year-old Sameera Nareesa Williams who was at the time recovering from a life-threatening accident.
Williams, of East Street, North Cummingsburg, Georgetown, who attended the Winfer Gardens Primary School and managed to secure a spot at Queen’s College in this year’s NGSA exams with her 508 marks, was involved in a serious accident back in February which had left her hospitalised for days and subsequently led to a near-death experience. Nevertheless, during her recovery stage the young Williams started to heal from those injuries.
