Hello, I am writing this on behalf of my grandson Nathan
"""
Hello, My name is Nathan,
I am interested in becoming your pen pal. Let me say a little about myself: I have a huge passion for music and arts,
as well as gardening and flowers. I've played drums since I was 7, and picked up keyboard when I was 14 and have
played ever since. I am 21 years old and live in Oregon, United States. I am an avid photographer, you can check out
my work at traskriverproductions.com/nathan.html. Let me know on there what you think about it :)
Here's the hard part. I am incarcerated at a Youth Correctional Facility. When I was 14 I made a dumb mistake and
will have to live with it for the rest of my life. I am incarcerated for the next 3 years and am looking for a pen pal
to start a friendship with. I don't consider myself as a criminal because I committed one crime when I was younger,
and I haven't let it decide who I am as a person.
If you give me the chance to, I think we could develop a great friendship and learn more about ourselves and others.
I feel like I am a great listener and writer and we could have fun writing each other. I would have to do snail mail,
which I know takes longer, but I feel like it is more personal and gives me to opportunity to send drawings as i
enjoy drawing and coloring :D
If you are interested in writing me, please let my grandma know and she will get things in order for us. I am looking
forward to hopefully writing you and learning more about your culture and teaching you my culture and language.
