My name is Wesley McDermid. I turned 18 in June of 2005, and now I'm pressured by social (as well as personal) standards to get out on my own and become another functioning member of society. I'm living in rural Pennsylvania, and consequently my options (all my options, including, but not limited to: employment, education, transportation, etc.) are limited. I have been working in a restaurant for over two and a half years, and I'm still making minimum wage. I get no more than 18 hours of work during any given week. I would love to find a new job but because I make so little I can't afford to buy a car; I have to ask co-workers and family members to drive me any place I need to be. I'm stuck in Pennsylvania, and I'm stuck at minimum wage. If you can help me at all, whether with money or advice, comment, or email me or something.
