We can forget and remember at the same time. I was born in Greenville, South Carolina, to Reverend Franklin E. and Vivian Elnora Carter on the east side of the city in a neighborhood called Fieldcrest Village. Five sisters and two brothers were here already. It was later named Jesse Jackson townhomes.
I grew up around many preachers and teachers. I attended several elementary schools and high schools, finally graduating from J. L. Mann High.
I went into the army during the Vietnam War but did stateside service. From that back to Greenville, where I went to Greenville Technical college. There is where my interest in writing began. During all that time religion, history and the sciences always kept me wanting to find out the truth about what I claimed I believed. Raw beliefs could never satisfy me. I studied, listened and tried my best to gather all the knowledge I could about God life and living. I found that not any could be mastered, only practiced. By way of books, street life and religion, here I am, relaying what I found out about this world and the systems of worship, for a being I couldn't see but was trying hard to understand. Most of the time, it’s what you make it out to be. The majority of the time, depending your relationship with God, it’s how he wants it.
So I always remember to thank him. That's how I got this far in life.ver menos
