hi.
i attended frank ryan from
1993-1995 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 frank ryan,
which included being removed from my eighth grade class and placed in a
different classroom. 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 even
after high school) is an undiagnosed personality disorder. in hindsight,
i feel that this disorder should have been diagnosed while or even
before i was a student at frank ryan. 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 nature that got me
off the hook in grade 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.
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...

Hello Jessica,
I
work in the records and archives at the Ottawa Catholic School Board. I
was sent your request by the Vice Principal at Frank Ryan
A few questions to complete your request;
Date of Birth
What schools did you attend after Frank Ryan (in Ontario or outside of Ontario)
What grade and year was your last year at school?
Did you receive your diploma?
Please let us know and we would be happy to help you with your request
Thanks
jessica

i'd actually be looking for records for the following schools, all in ottawa:
- st bernard's (k4 - grade two)
- uplands catholic (grade three - grade six)
- frank ryan (grades seven-eight)
- st pius x (grades 9 - oac)
i finished my oac year in the spring of 2000.
the
diploma question is a little shady. i completed all of the requirements
except for the oac religion component, which was a part of the catholic
school requirements. i took eight oacs but skipped the community
service becaue i simply didn't have time for it between studying for
"real courses" and working. i'm really starkly opposed to the
idea of labour without compensation and refused to do the community
service in an act of protest. this is a big discussion about class that
i'll spare you. i'm consequently not entirely certain if a diploma
actually exists. i don't think i've ever seen one. i didn't attend the
graduation ceremonies (i didn't attend my university graduation
ceremony, either). i did attend university and was admitted on the basis
of my oac marks.
