I think it's a very noble cause that you are wanting to undertake. Pray, my friend, and God will help you. I am not a Muslim but I respect Islam and I know it must hard for you being an American Muslim. I am so sorry for the way Muslims are treated in our country. It is not the American way. I think if you keep your faith strong and pray often that God or Allah will make it happen for you. God speed, friend. Tina, Houston, Texas

"You are as old as you feel" or as a friend of mine once said, "You are as old as the woman you feel".......but I think that theory only comes into effect once you hit 40, so no worries.

President John F. Kennedy said this:  'Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for our country.'\n\nYou are 22 years old, and already you have succumbed to what I refer to as:  "Entitlement Philosophy."  This is really not your fault.  The United States has failed in recent decades to encourage citizens to pursue their 'own person.'  Instead, Americans have fallen victim to the 'I'm an American, Therefore the Government Owes Me,' syndrome.  The sad part is, the US Government has complied with this problem, by funding entitlement programs hand-over-fist.\n\nPersonal security and well-being just doesn't work that way.  This is what Thomas Jefferson penned in 1776.  (If you haven't reviewed the entire Declaration of Independence, I suggest you might wish to consider reading it):\n\n'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.'  \n\nThe 'pursuit of happiness' is not handed out by the US Government.  What Jefferson described was the privilege of becoming anything a citizen wishes to be.  At 22 years of age, you have opportunities which abound in the United States, more so than in many other countries.  You may be a doctor, or an attorney.  You may clean houses for a living, or choose to be a writer.  You can run for office, challenge politicians, become a pastor, move from state to state.\n\nYou may go to college.  The government doesn't owe you an education.  You owe it to yourself.  Work your way through school.  Many have done it before you.  What's stopping you?  If you really want to go, there are many grants and financial programs available to assist you.  Do your research.\n\nYou say you are losing faith in your government?  YOU are the Government.  This is a government OF the People, BY the People...Choose to be proactive.  If you do not vote, you lose.  Picture this:  Iraqis, facing terrible violence, braved their way to the polls.  They proved to Americans what is truly valuable.  Their freedom of speech.\n\nYou don't approve of Capitalism?  Read Karl Marx.  Read Mein Kampf.  Then read Adam Smith.  Educate yourself.  Find out for yourself what truly is a beneficial economic system.  Ask people from the Ukraine, or the Czech Republic what life was like under Communism. Then...Start your own business.\n\nYou don't like the way people with disabilities are treated in the United States?  Then volunteer for organizations that provide for their needs.  Spend time visiting with the elderly in nursing homes.  Mentor a child.  Spend your time helping others.  \n\nYou say you are fed up.  How very sad.\n\n'Ask not what your country can do for you.  Ask what you can do for your country.'\n\nCount yourself among the privileged.  Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are yours to have (and to give), if you have the courage to accept it.\n\nGood luck to you.

Depends on the day, and what's going on. If I'm outdoing an in-shape 18 yr.-old at a physical sport, the pain dissipates, as the euphoria of winning-when- I'm-not- supposed-to gets to me. Times like that I feel 18 again.\n\nGetting out of bed in the morning, after a hard night at work, followed by drinking heavily, and then have to get up and mow the lawn, I feel about 60.\n\nI'm 38.

I understand how hard it is being 14 years old.  It seems like just yesterday that I was in the same position - the nervousness, the insecurity, not to mention the stir-crazy feelings that go along with staying in one (possibly small) town for so many years.  I'm only 23 now, and I'm from the US but now living in Japan.  \n\nI felt the same feelings of wanting to run away when I was a teenager, but trust me when I say you will miss your family and friends when you do.  You have your whole life to not be with them, but just enjoy them while you have them.  I know it's hard to understand now, but believe me that you will never be surrounded by so many people that love you as you do when you're under the age of 18.  \n\nThat's what I would tell your friend.  That and no, I'm involved with law and it's impossible to start a legal career at 14.  \n\nTell your friend to just enjoy being a 14-year-old because it only happens once in your life, and BELIEVE ME you will miss it when you're older.

I can't tell you when you will get a reply from INS, I can tell you that I had a similar experience.  It took over two years (AFTER my interview that I passed) before I was contacted to attend a naturalization ceremony.  I am Moroccan and was told the same thing as you, that it was the FBI check they were waiting for.  I contacted ACLU and my local representatives who made contacts with INS and FBI on my behalf.  I don't really know whether it helped or not but I did finally swear in and get my citizenship.  There is hope, but you may need to push them.  INS is all politics, so get your representatives involved.  On the other hand, if  you know you have a criminal history anywhere in the world or have been suspected of any crime, you may wait for a very long time, much longer than you have already.  \nI say, contact outside organizations that are there to help you, like ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) or a State Rep., even an attorney (make sure you get a well known Immigration attorney if you do this).  But keep your hopes up and keep up the inquiries!

I'm 43 and having a pretty good time.  My eldest son just made me a grandmother, a term I'm not very comfortable with yet, but having my little princess around is teaching me to love life all over again.  And now that my own kids are grown, I'm getting to do all the things I couldn't do when I had the responsibility of them.  It's kind of like being reborn into a better time.  And I don't feel 43, I still feel like I'm a teenager.  Age is just a number, life is what you make of it.  I intend to make mine a great deal of fun.
