Its been an incredible journey that has culminated in my US citizenship.
As an aside, I'm a great proponent for DACA and will champion and advocate for those kids that came into this great country built on immigrants. Those kids and now young adults know no home apart from these United Sates.
My story.

Oath - 11/06/2017 - US citizen
Had a DUI (biggest mistake in 2008). Economy was tanking. Had a child out of wedlock. Went to my first N400 interview in 2010. The IO told me to withdraw instead of being denied. Obliged. Life happened. 7 years later. Here I am a US citizen.
Be truthful. Make sure you have all your paperwork in order during the interview. I rolled the dice and said that if I did not get approved this time around I was ready to go back to my home country and explore the possibilities. I have a knack in making money. Made lots of it and lost lots of it when the economy started tanking in 2008.
What an incredible journey. Although we come from different places. We are all the same. The same aspirations for our children and their children. God bless this great country that gave me the wings to fly. All the best.
