<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5b/JeremiahAllen2.jpg)</div><strong>NAME:</strong>Jeremiah Allen<br/><strong>AGE:</strong>18<br/><strong>CLIQUES:</strong>Athlete (football, baseball)<br/><strong>PLANS:</strong>Either community college or Air Force boot camp.<br/><strong>DREAM:</strong>Software engineer<br/><strong>CAR:</strong>When Jeremiah’s mother isn’t using it and when it works, a dark green 2004 Ford Focus.<br/><br/><strong>HOBBIES:</strong>Video games, jogging, web design/programming, noir movies.<br/><br/><strong>ABOUT:</strong>Jeremiah (only two people are allowed to call him “Jeremy”) has struggled for a significant part of his life. His mother Mollie is an attractive woman but who has suffered from bouts of depression and anxiety and has had difficulties maintaining any kind of employment, let alone gainful employment. Difficulties in paying the bills led Jeremy to live in poorly maintained apartments and even a trailer park for a few years.<br/><br/>While Jeremiah’s home life has been a mess his school life has been a much more positive experience. Handsome, charming, a great athlete, and a good student he got stability, praise, and attention he couldn’t get at home with Mollie. Additionally, in middle school, he struck a friendship with Miriam Goldman, the prettiest girl in school, whom he would eventually begin dating as a freshman until the present day.<br/><br/>Unable to afford a four year college Jeremiah sees the distinct possibility of studying computer programming at a near by community college while he struggles to earn money, drive constantly to see Miriam in the dorms of the college she’ll be soon attending, and take care of Mollie and her increasingly degenerate mental health state. However, a few months ago an Air Force recruiter had contacted him and offered him the ASVAB test for military recruits. Jeremiah aced the test, granting him a lot of choices and flexibility with an enlistment. Joining the Air Force gives Jeremiah the promise of learning a trade, seeing the world, leaving a town he has grown to hate, and getting a whole host of new responsibilities to replace the ones involving being a parent to his mother. Yet the pull of trying to save his mother from herself and the pull staying with a young woman whom he believes he loves may tear the young man apart if he lets it…<br/><br/><strong>MOMENTS OF GLORY:</strong>Despite his years of playing sports, Jeremiah’s fondest memory was a formal school dance where he showed up with Miriam, one of the prettiest girls in school, on his arm. Although not a secret, everyone came under the realization that he was dating a popular and pretty girl despite all his well known problems at home.<br/><br/><strong>MOMENTS OF SHAME:</strong>When he was a sophomore, Jeremiah’s mother Mollie had been relatively stable for more than a year so he didn’t object to her picking him up from school when she could. However, when Mollie showed up to the high school, obviously having an episode, she yelled at students, teachers, school resource officers, and even bus drivers about a minor issue regarding the scheduling Jeremiah’s after school activities nearly getting arrested in the process. Jeremiah has yet to live this down.
