My mother used to tell me to live a life filled with adventure and excitement. She always said I needed to look at the larger picture, never let fear or doubt hold me back, and that when the time comes I should take courage and face the unknown. 

It never occurred to me that those small words of encouragement would one day set my life on a path I never thought I'd have to one-day walkthrough.

   What would you do if you were suddenly told, your entire life has been a lie. 
    That you have quite a line of people who want you dead for reasons unknown to you, simply because you bear the last name... Carter.
     Well, this is my story of how I struggled to overcome my biggest fears.

The Best Kept Secret!

7 parts Complete Mature

They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?
