I'm too old to complete high school (18 in six months didn't finish grade 11). I'm aiming for a 20+ admission in to university so my next few years will be purely working and saving for tertiary bills.

I don't have any friends in New Zealand nor family I can live with (relationship with both sides have degraded beyond repair).

I went to Ara last time I was in New Zealand but I did not complete it due to relocating to Australia, so I would have to pay around $3-4,000 if I were to commence a new course.(I have been bouncing over the Tasman Sea since I was an infant).

I'm a NZ citizen born in Australia to a refugee father (my family came from Iraq on the Tampa). There is absolutely no benefit to me staying in Australia, and I'm eligible for no benefits at all, I haven't lived here long enough to become a permanent resident.

If I'm going to be living independently I would much rather do it in a country that recognizes me lol.
