My mother used to tell me to live a life filled with adventure and excitement. She always said I needed to look at the bigger 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 walk through.

   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.

HOUSE OF FIRE

“Hey!” I say in greeting as soon as I step into my dorm and see Eva slumped on the couch tiredly. 


School’s out and I just want to sleep the rest of the day away. I decided to walk back to the dorm as both Lillian and Tamil wanted to talk about what happened in debate class today. 


Since I haven’t been sleeping all too well lately, and with debate class being so full of animosity, I feel even more tired. I’d been warned by Rae yesterday that debate class was going to be hard to deal with, but I didn’t think it was going to be as bad as it was. 


Debate class is a weekly class taken by every student population. Two classes get to argue on a topic for an hour and a half of the day and let me just say… the. arguing. never. stops!
