Dear Uncle Jose,
It's very nice to hear from you again. I've been living in a house some friends and I decided to rent while we went to college so I don't know how many letters you've sent that I haven't opened yet (heh, whoops). Actually, your letter arrived at a good time because not too long after it arrived I came back home to my parent's house for Spring Break. I really liked the picture you drew for me. She's really pretty. There's so much detail especially in the hair and clothes. I'm looking forward to your comic book drawings.
I have to say, college is pretty hectic for me. There's so much that I want to do, that I have such a small amount of time dedicated to myself, it seems. Besides my classes and homework, much of my time is taken by my current job at a dining place on campus and by the clubs I've joined. I don't mind the hectic schedule too much and I always try to make the best of it by meeting new people and trying new things. In your letter you asked me what I am studying. Well, right now, I'm studying Japanese and soon I'll be starting a program in Architecture. I'm not really sure what I plan to do after college, but I figure I'll have a lot of options with both Japanese and Architecture as majors.
Unfortunately, I don't have a girlfriend at the moment. I've been kind of shying away from that. I feel like there's so much going on and so many things that I've become a part of that I wouldn't possibly be able give her the amount of attention she deserves. What's more is that I've made so many friends for the first time in my life that I don't want to shun them away to spend time with her. I know it seems silly, but in college you can't really have both. It's just too hard. I know so many people that I don't see anymore because they spend so much time with their significant other. It's just sad.
I'm very sorry to hear about your current situation concerning the prison. To me, it seems that they put so much effort into getting people into prison and not enough effort in keeping their prisoners safe. There's some pretty ridiculous stories out there about people getting thrown into prison. Just the other day, I read an article about some guy who got arrested because he was carrying the liquid remains of his son (who had passed away 5-6 years ago) in his backpack. He was charged for "abandonment of a corpse" which to me seems pretty unreasonable since the guy was carrying around only the liquid portions.
Well anywho, I know you'll keep fighting. Like you said, us falcons aren't ordinary human beings. We are capable of much more than we are credited for. I'm taking your word for it. I will also pass on my inspiration to other people as well as receive it. I will continue to "shock the world."
Until then, don't give up. Live your life to the fullest. You only get one try....
Your dearest nephew,
Abraham.
Oh. You wanted my cellphone number? Here you go. 547-584-5626
Hope to hear from you.
