MY TRIBUTE TO AMERICA I believe in fireflies and stars lighting up the night sky, homemade cookies from grandma with love, that there’s kindness and love in the world, and that people care enough to help others in time of need. I borrowed a Bible from my church, faith of my fathers living and sitting on the night stand by my bed. America borrows from our past. Our heroes, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr.. shaped the decency of our conscience. Signers of a declaration and builders of a democracy, tamers of the west, and explorers of the galaxy become the fruit of our spirit, and this is America’s soul. Our greatest people have come from communities small, and large, trusting and caring about God, our country, friends, foes, and

I believe becoming a United States citizen is too expensive and the process too long. Many families have broken apart while looking for a better opportunity in this country because they believe coming to this country life will be easier. I recognize people win much more money here than other countries; however, one would never imagine the cost and the duration of naturalization would be this much. I believe naturalization should be like a recognition for permanent residents because they have done so much for this country and devoted their lives working hard to improve their lives.…

Because of his parents’ native background, Mayor suffers an identity crisis, to which he fails to see himself as either an American or a Panamanian.…
