After five years trying to get a place in the Medicine course, Luma Vitória Bezerra, 20 years old, celebrated the essay theme of the National High School Exam (Enem) 2026.

In her fifth attempt to win a place in Medicine, the student stated that she was already familiar with the theme proposed by the panel: "The valorization of the Unified Health System (SUS) as a universal right".
"It was a relief and gave me that feeling that this really is my last year taking the test. When a topic comes up that you know how to write well, that feeling of confidence comes," said Luma.
Another candidate who was also satisfied with the test was André Campos, 30 years old. According to him, the topic of the essay was part of his area of training, which made writing the text easier.

"The test was excellent, I thought it would be a little more difficult, but I found it very easy, so much so that I left straight away, with two hours left to finish the test. The writing was excellent. For me it was easy", he said.
