Dear Ali,
I grew up on a farm, so being around animals was part of life. What sort of a vet would you like to be? I always thought working with livestock was where I would end up and now, here I am in New York.

What are you reading at the moment? Don't you love the smell of books? The initial crack of the spine when you open a new one? Currently I am reading "The Other Side of the Story" it is about giving people the benefit of the doubt.

What sort of things are you able to do? Do you get out much? How about friends and doing "girl things"? Perhaps I should have written to you in private, I am new, so forgive me.

Looking forward to your reply,
Riv
