An Update From Colorado

Seven months have passed since we moved to this prison here in Colorado, or at least it feels like a prison. We got here and it snowed on us almost immediately. the weather here is so unpredictable. The mountains seem like an impenetrable wall that keeps me away from the place I love. Despite the feeling of being trapped, good things have also come out of this move. My brother and I joined a new Boy Scout troop. I have also gotten into welding. Had I stayed in California, I would have never gotten interested in welding. I attend a morning class at Warrentech for three hours in the morning. Hopefully, after two years of taking this course, I will be able to earn credits for college and I will be able to earn my A.S. degree in welding technologies. I have also made some changes in my life for the better. Although the move here was difficult, it did bring good things into my life. I thank God for all that I have and for having my family with me through these challenging times.
