Of Citizenship Is Alive And Well At Azusa Library

Tribune: 11.21.2019 by Anissa Rivera
For
Miguel Requelme, 34, of Covina, action is hope.
Born
in Mexico, and brought to America at age 3, he grew up grateful that his
parents sacrificed so much to give him a better life. Requelme graduated from
Wilson High School in Long Beach in 2003, married in 2005 and is the proud
father of two daughters. He worked his way up in the fast food industry and is
now a general manager.
“As
a naturalized citizen, I am looking forward to starting my own business this
upcoming year,” Requelme said.
But
first, he made time to celebrate Azusa’s newest crop of American citizens.
Requelme, after all, is himself a graduate of the Inspired Citizenship program
at Azusa City
Library.
Arlene
Calderon, adult literacy program coordinator at Azusa City Library, invited
Requelme to speak to 33 newly-minted Americans at a Nov. 9 celebration. READ
