Student at Rio Salado College Southern
My name is Rama Saymeh. I am originally from Syria, and I would like to tell you that I am very proud for getting my U.S. citizenship. Very simply, it was my dream!
As a citizen of the U.S., I want to focus on two thoughts: one is the meaning of U.S. Constitution; the other is what citizenship means to me.
The Constitution is a written set of rules that the government must follow. And that means that I, as a citizen of the U.S., must defend those rules. It also lists the rights of all citizens, which means that I must defend those rights.
With the rights of citizenship comes equally important responsibilities, and the future of our great nation is dependent upon the involvement of all its citizens.
