    There was a quote that I remember seeing a while ago. “You can move to France, but you won’t become French. You can move to Germany, but you won’t become German. But when you move here, you become an American.” Congrats on the citizenship🥳🇺🇸

  • @dingerma
    You have added to the greatness of the US by joining us. Thank you.
  • Am I the only one who loves hearing "Welcome home"? I'm a US citizen by birth and it still makes me so happy to hear it like 'yes! yes I'm so happy to be home, thank you!'

    Im from Peru my husband from Brazil and became Us citizen a few years ago. We love our countries but the US has giving us so many opportunities. We couldn’t be more grateful to this country. Congrats on your citizenship 🇺🇸

    My Son-in-law was born in Co. Limerick, Ireland. They've been married 8 years now, and he was sworn in as a US Citizen in October of 2022. Talk about culture shock: a boy from SW Ireland, living in Central Texas!

    I so enjoyed this video. I don't believe I've ever heard someone who has become a UScitizen actually express how they feel about becoming one of us. It's actually humbling to hear you describe how differently it has made you feel. Thank you, and by all means, welcome to the family.
  • My grandmother came to The US over 100 years ago, through Ellis Island as a young girl ( by herself) and became a naturalized citizen before women were granted the right to vote. The pride she had about being an American and impressing upon her daughters and granddaughters the privileges we have now always stuck with me. I see that same look in your eyes about being American . Thank you for helping me remember Grandma Mary.

    So happy for you man. I’ve enjoyed your videos for a while and I’m happy to welcome you as a fellow American. I hope your American dream is lived out in reality.

    Here's my fun US passport story: when you take the highschool SAT test you have to show ID. Most kids showed a school ID, driver's license, or learner's permit. I was young and homeschooled the first time I took it. I had neither. However, thanks to a Bahamas cruise, I had a passport. Only kid the lady had ever seen checking in to take the SAT with a passport.
  • So happy you are an American! Congratulations on your citizenship! We're proud to have you!

    Laurence,  Welcome to the land of the free and the home of the brave!
  • @diane-fm4fn
    Good for you Laurence! We are happy to welcome you as a US citizen. YAY!!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
  • It's always nice to hear something good about the US. So many people overseas seem to think that it's just awful here. Keep the positive videos coming!
  • @Ralph64
    Glad to have you, Laurence! Also glad for the merch descriptions, so I didn't spell your name wrong.
