Why I became an American citizen (Japanese)
(Japanese) I got permanent residency and I wasn’t thinking about getting citizenship, but I got citizenship in 2000. I’m grateful because I was probably the first American citizen who didn’t understand English, but they still allowed me to be one.
Since I had my own family, while I still have my hometown in Japan, I feel that I have my second home here and for my children, too, who were born here as American citizens. I felt the need to become one myself to live with them as citizens – that’s how I became one. I’m truly thankful.
