Ayaan Alam is an average 9th grade student who attends Melissa High School and lives a normal life just like any other student.

However, Ayaan is only a 13-year-old freshman. He explained how he got to high school at such a young age.

“I skipped a grade in elementary school,” he said.

Ayaan has been attending Melissa ISD since 2018, and when asked what he thought of our school, he voiced his displeasure.

“We don’t have enough time on assignments,” Ayaan said. “We need an extension of due dates for assignments.”

As for some of the classes he enjoys, he stated that he does somewhat enjoy English class.

As for his plans for when he gets out of high school in four years, he replied that he will “most likely get a job.”

Just like most students, Ayaan enjoys many things. When asked what some of his hobbies are, he said that he likes cooking.

He also finds humor in quotes. He likes memes, ironic humor, and dark humor.

“I really like the meme where it states when a thing is created and then it says the year before it was created and it is an overexaggerated representation,” Ayaan said.
