Many adults think there’s nothing to be learned from teenagers. If they were to meet Henrick Bernier however, there’s a good chance they’d change their minds. Because the 15-year-old student with an individualized education plan (IEP) at Louis-Jacques-Casault high school could show them the true meaning of the word perseverance. Despite an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a withdrawn personality and problems expressing his inner thoughts, the type of perseverance exhibited by Henrick has enabled him to become the class representative, take part in a leadership camp, join the science club and even find a job.

A student committed to changing his destiny by getting involved

At the age of 12, Ritchie Succès had already gravitated towards street gangs and was well on his way to becoming a little gangster. At school, he called all the shots. Strongly drawn to committing a thousand and one offences of all kinds, Ritchie falsely believed that the more of them he committed, the more he was proving himself! One day, while on his way to meet one of his cousins – an older boy with a negative influence -, he learned that the cousin in question had just been found dead, shot down in the street. Ritchie was in shock. And it was at that moment that he realized he had but one desire: to live a happy life.
