\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — May 16, 2005 — They majored in sociology, played defensive back for the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s football team, and plan to go into law enforcement. Raheem and Rashaad Carter are one of five sets of twins who graduate from 溏心vlog免费B站 on May 22.<\/p>\n


\nThe Carters continue to finish each other\u2019s sentences. \u201cWe used to do that a lot,\u201d says Raheem. \u201cWhen we were young,\u201d says Rashaad.<\/p>\n


\nThe twin\u2019s nonverbal communication is even stronger. \u201cEmotionally we are the same,\u201d Raheem says. \u201cIf we\u2019re at an event and something is happening, I know it\u2019s affecting him the same way as it is me.\u201d Rashaad nods his head in agreement.<\/p>\n


\nThey are not always in total agreement. \u201cOur mother says that she can not believe that we\u2019re 23 years old and still arguing.\u201d The identical twins laugh.<\/p>\n


\nBoth men graduated from Fitch Senior High School and spent their first year at different colleges. Raheem was recruited from Central Connecticut for the 溏心vlog免费B站 football team. His brother who was studying in Arizona soon followed.<\/p>\n


\n\u201c溏心vlog免费B站 is closer for the family to come to the games,\u201d says the Groton, Conn. brothers. Their 18-year-old sister has just finished her first year at Long Island University.<\/p>\n


\nRaheem switched his major at 溏心vlog免费B站 from history to sociology. He is currently working with at-risk youth in Waterford, Conn. He has applied to several police departments and is in the recruiting process. He expects to get hired soon.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cSociology is a good major,\u201d Raheem says. \u201cIt helps you understand where people are coming from,\u201d agrees Rashaad.<\/p>\n


\nIt took the sociology faculty and staff some time to realize they were twins and sociology majors. \u201cI heard once that there was a department meeting about which one is which,\u201d Raheem says.<\/p>\n


\n\tRashaad is completing a case management internship at a 24-hour residential treatment program. He works with residents who are drug dependent and have mental disabilities. Before he did the internship, he wanted to become a police officer. But after learning about drug addiction, he wants to focus on that field. He\u2019s been offered a full-time job at the program after he graduates. He\u2019ll take it for now, but hopes to eventually pursue a career in the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.<\/p>\n

For now, they will rent an apartment or condo together. It will be a Felix and Oscar type of arrangement. \u201cDuring the week everything will be in its place,\u201d says Raheem who finished up his work at 溏心vlog免费B站 in December. \u201cAnd then he comes home on the weekend and everything gets messed up.\u201d Rashaad interrupts. \u201cHe\u2019s obsessive compulsive,\u201d he says with a smile and a shrug.<\/p>\n
