hi.
i attended st. pius X from
1995-2000 (when there were five years in high school) under the name
jason parent. i go by the name jessica, now - but anybody there that
would remember me would remember me as jason.
i had
some disciplinary problems when i was a student at st. pius - multiple
suspensions, and a few points of near expulsion. you could broadly
classify me as a "prankster", although some of the behaviour was a
little more intense than that. i was also a fairly quiet and sometimes
bullied individual and a relatively good student, and these two things
together got me through the process with less consequences than i may
have otherwise had to deal with. it was generally understood that i was a
"bright" kid and i'd "grow out of it".
however, as
i've aged, it's become clear that the cause of my anti-social outbursts
(which continued after high school) is an undiagnosed personality
disorder. in hindsight, i feel that this disorder should have been
diagnosed before i even got to st. pius. as it is, i'm now nearly 34
years old, remain undiagnosed and continue to demonstrate substantial
symptoms. i'm currently living on odsp and trying to compile evidence of
this undiagnosed personality disorder for the purposes of having that
renewed.
now, the same mild mannered behaviour that got
me off the hook in high school is acting against me in terms of
convincing physicians that there's actually a problem. there's a very
big disconnect between how i come across in an interview setting (which
is very respectful and "normal") and the actual record of my past
behaviour (which has at times been just off the wall). i don't have a
criminal record. so, the best evidence i can provide would be my
behavioural records through grade school, high school and approximately
ten years of university (if anybody is curious, i finished degrees in
mathematics and computer science, as well as minors in law and physics -
and was written up repeatedly for angry, anti-social outbursts directed
at profs and students).
i would greatly appreciate it if you could send me these documents. i currently live in windsor, ontario.
now,
i understand that this is a random email address that even displays an
entirely different name - you have no way to know that i am who i say i
am. i simply don't know what the proper process is in proving who i am.
so, if you could guide me through that, that would be great. the closest
i can get to coming down there in person is sending my mom...

Good Morning Jessica,
I received your email and I remember you as a good student.
I now work in the Student Services Department.
After
students leave high school, all documentation is destroyed after five
years, except for transcripts. So all we have on file now is your
transcript showing good marks and credits earned. There is nothing here
regarding any issues or behaviour.

hi mr warren.
yeah, i was in your enriched math class and also your chemistry class. i think you also knew my stepmother.
frank
ryan has told me that the school board keeps archived information. do
you think i'd be able to find information there? if you so, do you have a
contact address?
there were in fact multiple
suspensions and a threat of possible expulsion that never materialized.
if there's a file somewhere, it's really quite thick.
mr. warren
Hello Jessica,
Sorry,
other than the OSR that was here, I am not aware of any archived files.
Once students leave high school, all of the suspensions and related
files are shredded after 5 years, and only the transcript is retained.
You could certainly call the board office and ask if you wish.
