= History =
As far as she knows, she has no family. Biologically speaking, she knows she had parents. Who they are, however, remains a mystery. Her insatiable curiosity led her to ask all kinds of questions about whom her parents were and when they were coming to get her. Her file in the orphanage she grew up in lists them as anonymous as that was their wish when they gave her up for adoption. No reason was listed for this decision. <br>

For years that upset her. She didn’t understand why her parents didn’t want her. Finally, one day, that sadness turned to anger that they had so carelessly abandoned her without giving a reason for it. She made a conscious decision that she would never marry and never have children so that she’d never be put into the position where she might have to make a similar decision about a child’s future. <br>

As she grew up, she watched as children around her were adopted into homes, into families that wanted them. As much as she longed for a home of her own, as jealous as she got of the children who got to leave, she eventually started to not care.<br>

The best day of her life was when she turned 14. She was told that she was too old to continue to live in the orphanage and that she needed to learn how to take care of herself for the day when she would be on her own. She was taken to a small one room apartment and given an allowance. The money had to pay her bills, her rent, and buy food and other necessities. She would be allowed to live there under the conditions that her grades stayed good, that she attended and graduated from high school, and that she maintained her apartment in a clean and orderly manner. There would be monthly inspections to ensure that all was well, but otherwise she would be left alone. Upon graduation from high school, she would be given a certain amount of money but after that she would receive no further support as she would be expected to get a job to do so. Her case worker then took her out to a store to buy things she would need for the apartment, figuring that it would be easier that way since Kalantha didn’t have a vehicle of any kind. Kalantha bought cooking pots, a small futon, a pillow, some dishes, and groceries at one place, a small desk and dresser at another, and a phone, television, and DVD player at a discount electronics store. This took several trips. Her case worker promised to come by the next day with a table and chair from the orphanage that was her going away present from the staff. <br>

Left in the apartment by herself, she immediately began to catalogue her possessions and put them away in closets and cupboards.<br>
