"Finally, the day came. I sat across from a kind officer, took my oath, and became a U.S. citizen. And in that moment…I felt something incredible. I felt like I was flying. I had entered a new chapter of life. I felt proud. I felt free. And most of all, I felt deeply connected to this country I now call home.” - Hamid, Citizenship Class Participant
