I am not from this land. I come from a different country where I spoke Hindi, played cricket and was in a world where I was comfortable. Then, I moved to Australia in Grade 6. I did not fit in with this world. It was a different culture, a different world where I did not belong. I barely survivied primary school. Another change hit me as high school approached as a bomb ready to explode. . My high school was an open punishment field for the weaker kids.

The kid who did show emotion as part of his identity. Therefore, I was already classed as a target. There 's this movie called Suffragette. The movie is based upon the hardships faced by women to achieve the vote. What the movie also vividly displays is how the women were treated before the vote. They were simply considered a lower race, a class of animals who existed to be tortured mercilessly. Well, we were no lesser than these powerless women within the social heiarchy of the school.

Now, I was within the victim category.

From the next day on, I was injured everyday for the first year, whether it be physical or mental.

The school was very small along with classes, teachers extremely strict and hallways always quiet, the totally opposite from Dr. Henry A. Wise. My first day of high school I was very nervous I was not used to big classes, endless amount of students in the halls and the loud ruckus. This was an educational challenge for me because it was a totally different learning environment for me that i had to get used to quickly. My studying habits also challenged me through high school because test and quizzes were given out frequently and if you didn't know how to study you probably wouldn’t get a good grade.
