On 12 September 2012, I was asked to swear and affirm my allegiance to the Queen and the United Kingdom. I was granted the right to hold a British passport and officially became a British citizen. I feel proud to have British nationality because this country has accepted me as one of its own. It is now my home, and I’m honored to be a part of its diverse and rich history. Being British isn’t just about holding citizenship; it’s about the sense of belonging, the opportunities I’ve been given, and the pride I feel in being part of a country that values both its heritage and its future.
