 Do you swear that everything you say today will be the truth? Yes. My name is Bertha Ortiz. I'm from Mexico. I moved to Madison, Wisconsin in 2004. Many of my students currently have been in the country for 20 years. A few of them, you know, much less. But many of them, 20 years on green cards. They have made a decision to become citizens, even though they see it as very challenging because of the language. I was so nervous. Bertha is in many ways the ideal student. She talks about being very nervous. But when she came to class, she focused her attention totally on what we were doing. I found family here. I feel so confident in my classes. And I saw how my teachers, they are so passionate with all of us. That made me feel a position to them. Well, I feel good. And I do at the same time feel grateful that I could participate in their journey to this accomplishment. Now I feel I am part of this country and I am able to vote to travel without any restriction. Leadership Network is doing an amazing job for everybody, and especially for me.
