Simon Liu
Simon was a high school senior at Ateneo high school when he got into a car accident. He was riding shotgun in his uncle's sedan, on his way home from school when a taxi cut them off as they tried to make a right turn, slamming into the side of the car.
When Simon woke up he was in the hospital and couldn't feel his legs. The doctor told him that he had sustained comminuted fractures, meaning the bone had shattered in several different places. Pins had been inserted into his legs and were held in place by an external brace to keep the bone from moving while he healed. He was told that he would have to stay in bed for a month or more and return to the hospital for several weeks of physical therapy before he would be able to walk again.
His final exams were in 6 weeks.
Worried that he might fail his final exams if he missed 5 weeks of lessons, Simon's parents enrolled him in AHEAD Interactive's online turorial sessions to help him keep up with his school work. And although wasn't able to walk on stage to receive his high school diploma, he passed his exams with high marks and is now a sophomore taking up B.S. Biology in Ateneo de Manila University.
