About Mandez Carter:

I am a fun loving, outgoing type of person. I love to meet new people and chill.

And as of this moment I am Keen Hall Council President! My days are pretty much busy since i work, am president, and also go to school so you will just have to try and catch me when you see me! But most of all I love my girl CHASITY NECHELL EDWARDS. She is stupid. She just makes my day for real!! I also love my family. ANA, who is my cousin. Marjon, who is my SISTER. And NADINE who is my cousin.And last but not least CIERRA PATRICE GAMBLE!!!! she makes me extremely happy. When im down, she is there, we have been through some hard times!!!!!! Without these people I would be lost!!

Hard Times Have Come a Knockin', My Friends

Facebook is the reason half of kids in college stay in college.

And Facebook is down.

I believe this would be called a tragedy. Yes, that is quite sufficient.
