Becoming American 8

“ I was born in Germany and lived in the USA for twenty years before I decided to become a citizen. I was unhappy to let go of my European identity, but it felt good to finally take on the rights and responsibilities of a citizen. I was eager to participate in the political process after all these years. I have been a citizen for seven years. In my mind, my anniversary of citizenship is Election Day.”

— Dominika Spetsmann
