Hello. I'm Halley. If you want my full name, I'm sorry but I'm too lazy to type it all out. I attend Science Academy of South Texas, AKA SciTech, where I am currently in my senior year and Vice-President of CinTech, a club for the perpetuation of the arts through film. I'm as odd as you can imagine. Life has been a bit strange ever since I met this boy... isn't that how most life story narratives begin? Or should I begin at a much more intimate time. Or at the point when everything was most difficult. Or maybe I just won't tell you what you expected to hear.

I'm 17, and as most girls my age, I can't wait to be 18 and out on my own...
It's a dream that most people can remember or are terrified of, I think that's why I tend to flow so strangely. I'm excited about leaving home and turning over a new leaf, but I'm terrified of the consequences of spreading wings that aren't ready to support me just yet. I've pretty much elected to not go to college, or at least not the traditional 4 year university.
This is where the trouble imparts itself. My mother has dreamed of having one of her children become a doctor (6 of us in all) and I, being the youngest, have become her last hope in that respect. I gave up on her fufillment and decided to follow my own subtle dreams. I plan on going to school for a webpage degree of some sort, or, visual arts, and I'd like to be a stay at home mother; which my counsoluer chringes at quite frequently when I speak to her about my chosen profession. There's always the seed that SciTech graduates will go on to do something amazing and revolutionize the engineering /electronics /medical /literate world. Though, fewer than a quarter of the population even achieves a college degree.
Not really for me to decide whether the causes were just, though I do know, from personal experience, the mental exhaustion and pressure to get into a respected ivy league college is exceeding high.

They're cornering children into suicide.

But things could always be worse... could be at McAllen High School   ;)
