My Oath Ceremony

Today I finally became a citizen. It was a really good day. The Oath was scheduled at 1 and when we got there we were told that it would start at 2. I felt really bad because some of the family had come from work. It was so touching to see the family there supporting me. They were told there were no seats and that they had to go to a room and watch the ceremony on a monitor. I about died. I felt so baaaaaaaaaad. But in the end they opened up seats and they were all able to get in! the ceremony lasted about an hour. There were some speakers, an awesome girl sang the national anthem, we said the pledge of allegiance, took the oath and got our certificate. They played a video message from President Obama welcoming us as new citizens. It was a really good experience. There were 172 people taking the oath only 3 venezuelans. Of course I was one of them. I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!! one more goal accomplished it feels really good....yay!!!!
