Adams, asks, “Did your great-aunt pass her test?” “Yes!” I say. “She is very smart.” I tell my class all about my great-aunt. She is eighty years old, and my family calls her Lobo, which means “wolf” in Spanish. (She calls us her lobitos—her “little wolves.”) Lobo studied very hard. She learned all about America. “That’s wonderful!” says Mrs. Adams. “Libby’s great-aunt passed her citizenship test!” My teacher claps. My class and I clap, too. On Friday, Mom and I will go with my great-aunt to a special place. She will say the Pledge of Allegiance, and she will become a citizen of the United States. She is going to practice all week so she won’t make any mistakes. “We’re going to practice the Pledge of Allegiance this week, too,” says Mrs. Adams. “On Thursday, Libby can lead us in saying the Pledge so she will be ready for her great-aunt’s special ceremony on Friday. Will you do that, Libby?” “Yes,” I say. I like being in front of the class.
