I missed one.
My 16 year old granddaughter is at Stanford right now participating in a Junior Statesman Leadership program and was one of 20 selected to take the constitutional law course. She'll be a senior at high school this fall. I'm going to send her the link, not that she has time to play. She's averaging 4 hours of sleep a night. I'm so proud of her though. She was one of 200 students selected from high schools throughout the world. They were selected on their grade point averages, community involvement and essays they wrote to apply. Even her teachers said no one would be selected from a small town, rural school and she proved them wrong! She takes honors classes so has a 4.4 GPA. Six students couldn't keep up the pace and went home the first week. She had to raise over $5000 to be able to do this. She didn't quite raise enough, so Grammy's credit card is getting her home. That was a lot of money for a small town girl (graduating classes here are averaging less than 70 students). I'm bursting with pride! She's part of this country's future and she wants to preserve the constitution. Her mother says actually she wants to re-write it. lol. Very ambitious young lady. Her older sister starts college this fall and is interested in Criminal law.

This was fun. I, too, made it in but I do need to "bone up" on some of the things.

I missed 3. Beverly helped a cousin's wife study to become a U.S. citizen and I am glad that I was born here. I don't think that I could ever have passed the test. She was from Korea and pretty bright with a good memory and only missed one question in the oral parts. I am pretty sure that I could not have done as well.

My mother was a naturalized citizen and she worried for a year over the test but passed the first time. She was always quoting stuff to us as we grew up.

I missed 5 but would only have been 1 if I'd gone with my first choice...talked myself in wrong answers.

Whoa hooo- I still get to be a citizen by the skin of my teeth, I got 85%
