On February 21 of this year, Isaac Hou became a United States citizen. He brought treats for the staff of the Watertown Public Library the next day to celebrate. “For the last two years, I have come to the library quite often because I work for myself and conduct most of my business online. I also read a lot. So the library naturally has been the best place for me to work and study. Besides, people working here are wonderful and have made it a very friendly atmosphere for our community. Since I get to see them so often, it feels as if they were all my colleagues. That is why I wanted to share the joy of my special day with everyone. Whenever people congratulated me on this milestone of mine and asked about my journey and the very process of naturalization, I got to relive the sacred and emotional memory of my oath ceremony every single time by characterizing the procedure and showing the photos of my fondest moments. I’ve been impressed with people’s genuine and kind wishes for my citizenship.”
