I am so grateful to be an American. Walt Whitman speaks for me, the poet of democracy. God bless America. God bless all the kind Americans who inspired me to become one: my professors, my students, the kind workmen , workwomen. I am so happy. I am no longer an exile. This is home.

Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
–Ecclesiastes 1
