She was always taken care of by her family and lived a life so sheltered she ended up as an adult feeling lost in life, confused as to who she is or wants to be, and unsure of the path she wants to set for herself. She's just graduated college with a BS in Psychology, thinking this was an appropriate field to enter for her career. But she still feels unsure of her decision or what her next step will be in life. She came to the brave conclusion that to get an idea of who she wanted to be, to test her limits, create strength, courage and independence, she needed to explore the world and experience her options first hand. Her parents paid for her College tuition, allowing her to use the money she saved from birthday's, Christmas presents and so forth to pay for her trip to a few select countries to find herself. She had never even traveled outside of the state she was born in, let alone by herself, but she knew she needed to learn to depend on herself. The best way to do this was on her own, away from anyone that would try and help her. [b]Reason for Being on the Flight:[/b] Having explored Europe last month she is now on her way to explore South America. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/pt4r4.jpg[/IMG] [b]Name:[/b] Jack Brand [b]Age:[/b] 32 [b]Appearance:[/b] 6'1, 200lbs [b]Personality:[/b] [indent][b][u]The Good:[/b][/u] Confident, loyal, hard-working, willing to lend a hand to a stranger in need, a great friend once he allows someone to get close enough [b][u]The Bad:[/b][/u] Quiet and reserved, battles with past demons of drug and alcohol abuse that was hyped by the media, hard to get him to open up, has anxiety attacks when he gets overly stressed, which he usually subdues with drugs and alcohol.

Once clean everything seemed to be coming together again and his relationship with Lacey was stable once more.
