I was invited by Judy Dirks to visit her citizenship class tonight. I shared the guest seat with Representative Ray Cox.
The group agreed to stand with us for a photo.
Each student introduced themselves told us their country of birth and how they traveled to the U.S. I was very impressed with their individual and collective knowledge of U.S. history (Ray and I colloborated on a couple questions and came close).
It’s truly inspiring to hear the dreams of these future new citizens!
Speaking of inspiring, this young man was very interesting in policing as a future career. He had a number of very good questions about policing. I provided him with a couple items he could add to his police officer collection.
I appreciated the invitation to visit with these soon to be U.S. Citizens.
