I am a twenty year-old scholar, in a community that abuses its heritage and its own education. And in such a community, one must find alternatives to educate and enrich themselves. But that has never cured my loneliness, nor has it cured my inability to understand people and their emotions... Now I am going to the local community collage... I have learned these complicated emotions, but not how to control my own. So I write, and speak, and I travel... I take every opportunity to enrich myself, for every chance can quickly move on... and I learn nothing. I use Truml, to express my own path, my own philosophy, and build upon those beliefs with all that I learn in the world... and with the support of my father, and in the knowledge of our family's history, I cannot help but feel proud that I live in such an area. Though burdened by others, I find promise in the community I was born and have lived in all my life... And perhaps, one day... I will publish my writings, and my views, and my place in history will brighten this gloomy place... - Allenda Vena
