Carter's mom, Becky Fridly, says its been his dream since he was a junior to go to college.
"He kept saying he wanted to go to college, wanted to go to college, and I'm like, I really didn't know what that meant?" she told WIFR.
In an interview with WIFR, Carter says he was excited to get his admission letter.
