I’d never been to a U.S. citizenship ceremony before. I’d never even thought about it much. I knew the process took a long time but, beyond that, I knew nothing about it, until I was invited to one.My dear friend, Betty, was coming in from out of town to attend the citizenship ceremony of her sonin- law, Raul. Raul is a quiet and soft-spoken man who works in corporate catering. He has been waiting to become an American citizen for many years and finally, last Thursday, he became one.I wasn’t expecting much, but I was looking forward to seeing Betty.
