She passed!

For about a year now, I have been a volunteer tutor with the Literacy Council here in Asheville. I have been working with the same student this whole time. Her name is Maria Luisa and she is from Mexico (and living here legally). I have been helping her prepare for the US citizenship test in which you must demonstrate English language ability and knowledge of US civics and government. She took the test this morning and passed! She said the interviewer was nice, but talked fast. She was ready for that though thanks to Nate's expert impersonation of a USCIS officer last week when we did a trial run. It has been a really great experience and I'm so happy I could pop!
