When immigrants try to become United States citizens, they must pass the U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization test. The test requires a middle or high school level of knowledge in English and civics. Immigrants must speak, read, and write in English without a language waiver.

Adult education courses are available in many municipalities to assist immigrants in gaining the knowledge necessary to pass the test. A Vietnamese nail technician was studying for her U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization test, and her pedicure client helped. Travel vlogger Aisha entered the salon and saw this heartwarming scene.
The conversation between the two women is easy to listen to. The client asked a question from the study guide, and the nail tech answered. Then, the two discussed the question to ensure the nail tech fully understands the material. In the video, they are talking about who makes laws: Congress. The client explained that before the president can sign something into law, it must go before Congress and be voted on by the legislature.
It is a lengthy process for an immigrant who wants to join our nation and become a naturalized citizen. Their dedication during this period reflects their deep desire to belong. Learning our laws, history, and how our government works is part of passing the U.S. Citizenship and Naturalization test.
Watching the woman help her nail tech study renews faith and hope in our society. The United States has always been a melting pot of people from all over the world. From the first settlers who landed on its shores, immigrants worked hard to build this proud nation. Welcoming new citizens is a cornerstone of our country and should make us smile.
