Who knows you better than you?

A young sixteen year old male wanders the streets of Maryland.  Discovering who he is, is out of curiosity.  As he grows, develops and matures,  he discovers things that he likes and things that was unknown to him through dedication, hard work and continuing his education in his classes.  He is a current high school student in the class of 2013.  Everyday there is a new task, new journey to be ventured upon.  He takes his everyday life seriously and wants to accomplish his goals.  He loves working hard, keeps a determined mentality to complete a goal even in the toughest of times, and he always completes what he started.

This young man's pride and relationship with his family is what is most valuable to him.  Sometimes he pride makes the wrong decisions for him.  But, that is what being a human consist of.  Making mistakes is natural.  He is always involved in curricular activities with his school and playing on athletic teams.  He has played football, soccer, basketball and currently runs track.  Sports are his way through life.  If he can not be involved in a sport, he feels as if there is no need of life.  He loves being an athlete and his family is what keeps him going.  This young man thrives off the feedback his family gives him.  "Keep up the good work," says his dad.  "Leave everything out there on the track. Always do your best and forget the rest.  Do not wish you did something, do it then," both his brother and father said.  Whenever the young man is upset or frustrated, when it comes time to go out for practice, he always goes 100% because that pain, anger and frustration is relieved from him when he is shooting, catching, kicking or hurdling.  The books always comes before sports though.  The same support he gets for sports also corresponds to his grades.  If he does well in school, he does well on the track.  "If you do not learn, read, or study, you do not compete." His grandmother always says that phrase and he does not like it all the time.  So he stays on top of his work as much as possible.  He loves the challenge of his science and math classes.  He wants to be a computer engineer.  Taking the higher level of education are challenges he loves facing.  What is most valuable to this young man is just setting goals and achieving them.

There are different religions in the world and there believers of one religion and the others believe in something else or do not believe at all.  The tradition of being baptized and becoming a Baptist Christian has carried on for a while in the young man's family.  Reading the Bible and learning about God is the "normal" in this family.  Everyone in this family believes in God one way or another.  If you do not believe in Him, it will be forced in your mind that He is here and He exist.  If not, you just will not eat or live in a house for that matter.  This family believes that God is the Almighty and that everyone should be God fearing.  It is important because we know that God exist and that he can change all things in the blink of an eye and we will not know that anything happened.  Having a strong faith in God has bonded this family together and that is why they are close and have not separated like other families.

The cultural background is similar to most people.  They maintain a peaceful living and act mature in public.  This family acts as if they were given a job interview.  Depending on the type of day, they suit up or dress casual, they always want to look their best and never stress.  This family strives and overcomes overbearing obstacles.  Challenges is a family favorite.  If a challenge is too tough for someone else, they will continue this task until they are the first to complete it.  Most Sundays the family attends church unless there is a reason they do not attend.  This family's background comes from a tribe in North Carolina and they are known as "Black Foot Native Americans."  They are Christians that have a strong belief in God and will never believe in any other religion.  These few things is what this family believes is a good way of life and will continue doing it.  The young man believes that it is important, considering that it is a continuing family tradition, but he does not believe that is seems important since it is an everyday practice and it is synced into his brain so he does not have to think about doing it when it just happens.

Everyone has dreams and sets goals.  Those dreams can not become reality, or those goals can not be accomplished, unless you are determined to succeed in that area and work hard to succeed.  Nothing is given to you.  The young man hopes to succeed and begin a family of his own.  He hopes that he will enter into the 2016 Olympics and bring home the gold.  This young man is determined to succeed and will do anything to achieve his goals.  This young man owns the last name Carter.  His father has told him since his first day playing basketball, "You are a Carter.  Carter's do not give up! They work! They fight! They battle all the challenges in the way and they come out as the victor!"  Accomplishment is all he hopes for, in everything that he does.
