Hello My name is Ryan Williams. I am 17 years old and in 12th grade. My experience at Origins High School was ok but there was a long and hard struggle with many different challenges(Bullying,etc). Now you may be wondering why am I being so negative? Well let me explain. When I started off in 9th grade, the first day was a good day and they just showed us our classes so nothing really happened. But as the weeks went by I was being made fun of and even bullied by multiple kids every day, In fact the only good thing that happened was the friends I have now who were there for me every step of the way. Then a few months went by and we had roundtables which is when we have present our work that we did to students and teachers. I got nervous at first because I was afraid of going to make a mistake but It got slightly better towards the end when I was able to make it through with no problems, Plus I got a good grade on it. Then the year ended and 10th grade came but I lost motivation and started to question whether doing homework or school work was worth it,I also had more problems like trying to learn in class when kids were being to loud and I was getting bullied even worse than before,We also got more schoolwork and homework than the previous year which really made me

too stressed to try and complete it all. I started to become more and more miserable, I even had to go to peer mediation in my school a few times due to problems with certain people. 11th grade comes which I of course have been bullied in the beginning but now I was able to defend myself againest said bullies. 11th grade overall very stressful because we would get a lot of work and also some of the work was confusing and i didnt understand how do it, However some classes were fun and nice like the Creamics classes where we learned how to use clay and create so many creative things with it. I also started to get into computers and coding because i found it very intersting. Now I am a senior at Origins High School and things have gotten better as my classes got less stressful and with the help of my some of my teachers including Ms Jamie I am currently setting up for futher education in a trade school called CoOp Tech where I want to learn Computer Programming/Computer Science. So far i know alot about HTML and a little bit of Python JavaScript, and C++ and hopefully at this school I will able to expand my knowledge of coding.
