There are certain opportunities that are so rare and so special, you’d be nuts not to grab them. This is how I ended up at the Phillip Burton Federal Building on Friday afternoon watching my friend Nadir be sworn in as an American citizen.
Born in Portugal and arriving in California at age 9, Nadir has spent the past decade working towards his citizenship. Now 26 years old, it’s not like Nadir’s been lounging around, twiddling his thumbs, waiting for a passport. Nadir put himself through college, he’s currently working in Washington DC for a Congressman and next year, he’ll be attending Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.
