Notes on Interviewee Response:
What inspired me to become a U.S citizen is to receive freedom.
Fingerprinted, Questioned about personal background and U.S government, Proved I know basic English, and take an Oath of Loyalty.
I would say it was very understandable and needed to keep the country in order.
I am not quite a citizen yet, I am in the process of obtaining my residence. But when I do I plan to attend school to better my education.
If you had to, would you do it again? Please explain.
Do you feel the process was worthwhile?
If I had to, yes. There is so much here that I love. I can be free here, I can get educated, I can be accepted.
Yes, I feel it was well worth the benefits that will come from it
