My Mom Is A U.S. Citizen Today!

Posted Mar 21st, 2008 at 01:17 by Sleaklight

My mom was finally sworn in today as a United States citizen. She says it feels like any other day for her but she is glad she became a citizen. Kudos to her. She took the test in Spanish since she doesn't know English. Anyone else here is a naturalized citizen?
