He has genetic heart disease and is awaiting a heart transplant. Unfortunately, his medical situation got complicated just before the university entrance tests and he had to be admitted. Concerned about his future, he asked the hospital managers to let him take his test from his room, because he did not want to miss the opportunity to continue with his studies. It should be noted that his condition is so serious that he must spend 116 days in the Cardiovascular Critical Patient Unit

After examining the situation, the hospital officials agreed. Personnel from the Department of Educational Evaluation, Measurement and Registration (Demre) were in charge of supervising that he did not cheat when answering each of the questions.

Just because I am hospitalized does not mean that I have to pause my whole life, so I wanted to give it and if the score does not agree with me, well I can do it again until I get something that satisfies me. I want to give it up so as not to leave anything pending for after the transplant.

I would like to study Industrial Civil Engineering, there are several friends who study the same thing and it draws my attention because of the administrative work that can be in various areas, because after transplantation, as one takes immunosuppressants due to low defenses, one cannot expose oneself.

Despite his medical situation, Diego remains hopeful of moving forward to make each of his dreams come true. From a distance, his colleagues and family encourage him not to decline and fully trust him and his strength.

On the other hand, Internet users appreciate the gesture of all those involved for the young man to take his exam, since it is seen that he is a dedicated and determined student. The results will take a few days to be published, but we are totally sure that Diego will pass with a score as high as his hopes.
