“Working with students to prepare for their naturalization interview means working with students to achieve their specific goal – to become citizens of the United States. The students work so hard and so long to prepare for the interview; to walk together with them in this work is a great privilege. It is wonderful to see their wide smiles of joy when they reach their goal, and the best moment of all comes when I can send this three-word text: ‘You did it!’”
