My name is Jovanny Morales. I created a fictional interview about interviewing an immigrant that went through naturalization. The name of person I’m interviewing is Addarren. Addarren has been an American citizen for 15 years.

What inspired you to become a U.S. Citizen?
Addarren: When I was younger, I would listen to my family talking about how America has a good economy and how Americans have great lives. So I decided that I would go to the states when I get old enough.
What steps did you have to take as part of the naturalization process?
A: I had to take a Citizenship test. I also had to learn how to speak English, but, I had already learned English at a young age. I had to do a fingerprint stamp, and answer questions about my personal background. And after all that I had to pledge my loyalty to America.
How would you describe how you felt about the process?
A: I was nervous, but, I was more excited than nervous.
How has gaining citizenship changed your life? Is your daily life different because of gaining citizenship?
A: It changed my life, but it was pretty hard in the beginning. You know finding a good job and all that. But eventually it all worked out and now im doing good, so yeah my daily life is different now.
Do you feel the process was worthwhile?
A: Well it was kind of long but it was worth it.
Would you it again if you had to?
A: If I had to yes. Like if my citizenship depended on it then yeah, of course. But I wouldn’t willingly do it.
Were you the only one out of your family to move to the states?
A: No. Eventually my brother Derek moved to New York. My mother and father also came about a year after Derek left.
