Amy’s Struggle

"Although the town of Slough wasn't known for its grand universities and education scene, it still had the standard facilities that would allow one to progress into a career like a job if possible.

For many young people, the situation was tough, as even having a degree wasn't a guarantee of a job, and many were aware of this fact. Due to fierce competition, even the choice of university became a deciding factor in job opportunities.

The students knew this, which was why many who attended the University in the old town of Slough, now a city, knew there was next to no hope for them. Often, heading to the university was either a last-ditch effort or simply a way to buy time until they were forced to find a job in the harsh outside environment.

That's why many students had joined color gangs to pass the time or, perhaps, pursue a future in a different direction, leading them into a life of crime. However, things weren't the same in Slough now.
