Ah, youth. Remember when you first fell in love?
When all the possibilities of the world were on the other side of the door,
just waiting for you to walk through? Carter flew across
the country with his cousin to visit the Pacific Northwest when he was
fifteen. It was a time when both boys (who had adult responsibilities at home)
could be carefree. Watching their faces glow as they built a fire on the beach
at La Push was the chance for older, wiser(?) souls to appreciate the
hopefulness of youth.
Carter Cecotti
Hi, my name is Carter Cecotti. I am a senior at South Park High School and am almost finally done with
high school! I met an amazing girl on March 4th 2013 and love spending as much time
with her as I possible can. I have great friends and family who I love to be
around as well. I used to play soccer my freshman and sophomore year, also I
participated in Track & Field freshman and junior year. I have boxed for
the last five years and enjoy it; even though I probably won’t fight in the
ring again.
Coming this fall I will be attending
The Citadel Military College of South Carolina. I think it’s cool being a
legacy and following in my dad’s footsteps. After that I am planning on joining
the Army. I haven’t really decided what I would like to do in the Army yet, but
probably MP. I know it’s hard to plan ahead because no one knows just what the
future will hold. I don’t really want to stay in the military as a career,
maybe only be in for six or seven years, then try to get a job in federal law
enforcement. I feel as though that would
be a job I would excel in. But you never know what will happen.
1. Who are you? List 5 nouns that define you!
South Carolina, South Park, Friends, Family, Cars
2. What have you done that you’re most
proud of?
The thing that I am most proud of in my life is having to
step up and be about 18 years old when I was only 13 so I could
take care of my mother who was very ill and help take care of my four year old
brother. You really don’t realize how much that type of stuff effects you until
you look back on it later.
3. If you could change
one thing in your past, what would it be?
I know it sounds stupid but when I think of one thing that
I would change only one instance
pops into my head. It was probably about
2005 or 2006 and we were at the local mall. It was me, my brother, and my mom.
They were having a hula-hoop competition and the winner would get 4 tickets to
see Finding Nemo.
It was just my mom against this other woman and the winner
would determined by whoever cheered loudest. Me and my brother thought it was
stupid and were probably embarrassed to be there so we hardly cheered and the
other lady won. I don’t know why this is
such a regret of mine because if my mom was still here she probably wouldn’t
even remember it.
If I could go back and change one thing, I would have
cheered so loud that there was no way for her to lose.
4. On a personal/client level, what drives you crazy? What gives you joy?
Hmm, nothing drives me crazier than someone who doesn’t
know the rules of the road or a driver who is incredibly bad at operating a
vehicle. Something that makes me very
happy though is when me, my friends, and all of my girlfriends' friends can go
out to dinner or just hang out and goof around together. I can’t think of too
many other things that bring me more joy.
5. Given no restrictions (i.e.
money/physical capabilities) – what would you most like to do?
If I could do anything in the world at all... I would
bring my mom back so that my dad could get to see her and talk to her again
even if it was only for five minutes. I
know that would make him happier than anything and he would feel the joy that
he used to feel with her. It would make me feel better doing that for him than
any personal gain I could ever have.
