Francisco Nunez becomes a Citizen!
Francisco Nunez, a student from Mr. Trujillo’s Mid-City citizenship class on Saturday, passed his naturalization interview last Thursday and took the oath on the same day to become a United States citizen.
He visited Mr. Trujillo’s class today with donuts and appreciation for Mr. Trujillo: “Other teachers have you memorize the questions, but Mr. Trujillo teaches you the questions so it stays in your mind. I learned what this country is about and now I know more about this country than my native country. The history of this country is amazing. I am going to learn more about this country.”
Francisco arrived here in 1989 from Mexico was he was 11 years old. He lives in Huntington Park and works as a parts manager in a body shop. Now that he’s a citizen, what’s next for Francisco? “I will vote! Then I will look for better job opportunities.”
Mr. Trujillo teaches his citizenship class every Saturday at Mid-City Learning Center (1510 Cambria St.). If you’re interested in becoming a citizen and want to learn more about this country, come join us!
