I became a naturalized citizen on April 29, 2007.
I’ll never forget the nervousness and excitement I felt the very first time I voted. I was so scared I would make a mistake. I managed not to color outside of those little ovals (Mom always taught me to stay in the lines).
Although I’ve voted in a number of elections since my swearing-in day, I always get chills up my spine as I watch my ballot get slurped into the box.
I hope that you exercised the right that so many people fought (and are fighting) to secure for you.
May God continue to bless this amazing country!
