How to break up the table vertically
I have a rather long table that needs to be broken up into two or more pages. What I currently have is as shown in the screenshot below. I have looked at solutions like this and this in TeX.SE, but they are not quite what I'm trying to accomplish.
The LaTeX code I have now for this overflowing table is as follows:
begin{table}[H]
begin{center}
begin{tabular}{ | p{2cm} | p{12cm} |}
hline
textbf{Name} & textbf{Description} \
hline
Emma &
hspace{.2cm} 10th grader whose parents are divorced, but remarried recently. Lives with both parents and has an older brother. Socially, she has many acquaintances and a few close friends. Her popularity falls in the spectrum between nerdy and average. Deals with typical sophomore boy drama, but doesn't have a boyfriend. She does have a big crush though. Her grades are of bsq{B} average with occasional A's. She's good at math and enjoys science and arts despite being a terrible test taker. She hates learning Spanish. As far as the school goes, she likes the social aspect of it without the academics. Her family is financially comfortable most of the time, but she does need to ask money from parents sometimes. She plays soccer; enjoys arts club; listening to music, painting and drawing. She likes social networking a lot and spends time with friends a lot, too. During school days, she'd spend time socializing and struggling to stay awake in class. After school, she'd go to fitness room to keep in shape for soccer and track. Her future career goal is to major in graphic design at a state's college. The things that stress her out the most are boy drama, trying to keep please her friends, and balancing the relationship she has with her parents. Her biggest frustration is searching for her place in life and school. She talks to trusted people such as friends and teachers, to solve problems. A good sleepover helps every once in a while. She also paints when she's down and her motto is, ``My paint brushes are my outlet. Work hard and play harder!'' \
hline
Mike &
hspace{.2cm} Mike is close to failing the 11th grade. He does bare minimum and doesn't really care about classes. He has trouble socializing in school and is slow learner with short attention span. His home is tight in balances and struggles day to day financially. Mikes favorite activities are vandalism and playing video games. He does not do any of the social media thing. At school, he likes to sit by himself at the back of the classroom and speaks only when asked. After school, he walks back straight home, locks himself in his room and play video games all the time. No textit{Snapchat}, textit{Instagram} or textit{Twitter}. He has no future plan and actually is thinking of dropping out at the end of the year. He stresses out about money and is envious of nice and outgoing people. He also don't like to being called out in class. He has no outlet other than playing video games and has essentially given up (on life). Video games helps him ignore problems, but doesn't really help him solve problems. He knows it, but keeps everything to himself. \
hline
end{tabular}
end{center}
caption{Two example personas created by PL workgroup. Emma represents a typical student at the high school whereas Mike is not as fortunate in terms of social support and other resources available to him.}
