It's not, that I do or I do not wish to tell you my story, there is too much to tell and it's really confusing put all things together. If only I could simply to say, how proud I am, how happy that I felt because I became a citizen of The United State, but for me it is not that simple.
In the swearing ceremony there were 3500 people they became a citizen of The United State and I was one of them. I wonder how many of us knew the National Anthem, how many of us knew the story of The United States, and how many of us understand and speak English in a proper level, including myself.
After the ceremony you should walk with (us) the crowd, it was like a Towers of Babylon, everybody was speaking their own language, and of course I am not against to it, but what I am trying to show you the picture of us, new face of the America.
I have become a teacher, and thinking about it now, I don't know how to teach. I should be able to say easily, "How proud I am to become the teacher". Proud! That is making me think, why do we say that? In what conditions! Am I being selfish? The United States is too generous to give, and for me simply just to take? Because, the United States has 5% of the World population and she has 60% of the Worlds wealth, and is that why, I like to be on the side of the rich?
Well, let me tell you little about myself. I am an Armenian from Turkey-Istanbul, borne December 2nd 1951. I have been here since 1984 May 4th. After being the U.S.A, three month later I attended to go the Long Beach City Collage, taking the Air Conditioning courses. How had I dared to take the courses with not knowing the English? Could be the question! Since when I was 10, I was working the refrigeration field (back home, I only went to elementary). Because, I had a great deal of practical experience, I had thought I could easily handle the courses, with my 23 years of experience in refrigeration field. At the end, yes I had handled it for sure, but it wasn't easy at all…
To be continued, I hope.
P.S. I didn't show anybody to correct my English that story I am writing, I wanted you have an opinion in my English, but I have to admit, lots of spellings help from the computer.
