Control

John;

The only thing you really have control over is yourself. You cannot control people, all you really can do is incluence. When also need to make sure you are in control over yourself. I had this friend Shon R. He was a huge cocaine user. I would tell him that this habbit is not good for you. He told me he had it under control. He was arrogant. He had no control over his addiction.

Remember what I told you about chosing your friends. You make your choices no one else does. You have control. Dont allow your friends to have to much control over you. Dont give in to peer pressure. Be your own man.

Keep trying and I will be there. You will always have a home. Dont forget to study and read. Knowledge is the currency of the modern world.

As for India!!!

You got to ride an elephant, see the Taj Mahal, ride on a camel cart, see a snake charmer, and see monkeys. You are such a cool little guy. I love ya! You were so happy to see me at the airport. I am sorry I work so much son. I love you.

I will be home tomorrow. We will play 'catch johnny' 'jumps' and 'hide and go seek'

Ciao for now Amigo!
