My wife became a citizen two years ago after having been working, living and raising three grown children in Texas for 40+ years.
I had some what of mixed emotions on my Irish lasse becoming American but I was swelling with pride over her achievement. We've been married 42 years as of yesterdays anniversary.
Welcome to the American melting pot!!!!
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. I stand for "We The People ..."
Now, it's a fact she knows more American civics than the average American.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Congratulations! More reason to be proud of having worked for it than having been born to it.

“ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.” — Immanuel Kant
