U.S.A. A-Okay!!

It's been a proud couple of days for us here. Just last Tuesday, my mother, who has been living in this country for nearly 30 years, officially became a United States citizen. It's not an easy feat for someone who doesn't speak very much english, and doesn't read or write much. Still, she has been going to citizenship classes for nearly 6 months, and decided to take the exam in english. I was so proud of her for having accomplished this all on her own, and in a foreign language none-the-less. Now she is just waiting for her appointment for the oath ceremony, and she'll officially be an American. Way to go Mom!!
