Gattaca: Letter

Dear Anton,
   
        I wanted to tell you the reason why I decided to undergo the transformation to become Jerome. In our childhood, you were always considered "better" than me, but that never let me down. I have always wanted to be the best and my determination resulted in my decision to undergo the transformation. Our parents always thought of you as the "worthy" child and all they did was disregard me. I was a "faith born child". I wanted to be treated better. I wanted to be "perfect", but I would never be unless I changed my genes. My dream was to get into Gattaca and go to space, but I couldn't. I had everything necessary to get into Gattaca, but the only thing blocking my path was my genes.
        I needed to achieve my dream and succeed. I had to change myself. I undertook a painful process to get taller by cutting off my legs to extend it. To become a valid, I had to borrow urine and blood samples to get past security. All my skin cells, nails, and hair had to be burned and I wore false skin over my finger. I also went through necessary dental work like whitening. I used the real valid's, Jerome, urine, blood, skin cells, and hair. As I changed, I used props to disguise myself as the true valid, Jerome. My determination took me through this and in the end, I got into Gattaca. Through this transformation, I finally felt successful for once and it was what I wanted. I hope that you will understand why I undertook the transformation.
             
                                                                                                                  Sincerely,
                                                                                                                  Vincent
