Hello, I’m Lee, and I’m a High School student enrolled somewhere in the heart of Texas. But fear not, I am no reckless extreme conservative. I’m not quite sure myself of who I truly am. I consider what the materialists say about the world, then what the idealists say about themselves, what the progressives say about the past and the status quo, and what the pessimists say about the future and the possible implications of change, and in all the chaos, I think I’m okay with not knowing myself.
