Congratulations! I can imagine how good it feels to have fully “arrived”.
As an American who has spent most of his life in Germany, I’m heading in the other direction — I’m about to submit the paperwork for my Einbürgerung!
Congratulations Ari! At a time when many do not appreciate their American citizenship you are an inspiration and encouragement. Welcome aboard!
Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing the article. Nice read some of your thoughts on politics and political engagement as well.
congratulations. remember to vote! This is all i really meant to say (i volunteer where people are studying for their citizenship exam. but your website will not accept a comment of less than 60 characters, so i am padding my well-wishes. since your site does not provide a count like twitter, i will pad further with meaningless letters. actually i’m sure you will not forget to vote. peace.
