In 2009, Sanjeewa passed the university entrance exam and was selected to study Bio Science. However, his dream was to become a doctor, so he retook his exams the following year and achieved two ‘A’ grades and a ‘B’ and was in the top 5 in his district.

His mother and sisters are very proud of Sanjeewa. He studied very hard while facing many difficulties and got through the most competitive exam in Sri Lanka. Now Sanjeewa also makes extra effort to improve his English as all the medical textbooks are in English.
