Mrs. Wendy Clarke is a pleasure to say hello to you again and be able to answer your questions.  I want to thank you for the pictures.  I can see that you are an expert.  I will keep them as souvenir of the Citizenship ceremony.

I came to this country seeking for the American dream.
I came to the USA on January 1st. 1988 seeking the American dream. 
I was 59 years old.  I made my journey to this country with other people.
I have 4 children living in this country.
I couldn’t find a job similar to what I was doing in my country because I didn’t have a green card, but my children took care of me and they still are.

The impression that I got of this country when I came was exactly as I always thought.  Is a country if liberty and democracy. 

I made the decision of becoming American Citizen because I wanted to have the right to vote.  My life in this country is peaceful.  I live in an apartment for retired people.  My first daughter works for a Salvadorian Bank that has an office in this city.  My second daughter went to college here in Los Angeles and now teaches in a school.  My third daughter work at LAX and my fourth kid, he works in a transportation company in Vegas.

The highlight in my life is that I became a Citizen of this country.  God bless the United States.
