Answer:
The narrator develops the theme by starting it out with their hopes and dreams, along with their actual plans. It doesn't transition from the letter until later in the story, after Alma said, "You must really love what you do here." The author of this was saying his plans were to go to college, but the letter that told him otherwise was what gave him a life he really loved. If it weren't for that letter, he wouldn't be married to Alma, he wouldn't have those same three kids, he wouldn't have had those problems that made his life. That is why just that one letter changed everything, making his life exactly how it turned out he wanted it.
