I'm 16 and I live in Ontario, Canada and my goal is to eventually move to the US and eventually become an American citizen. I have relatives in NC, I've been there to visit a lot, and I've traveled with my parents all over the eastern US and I really like it. I'm hoping to eventually go to university in the US, and then get a job and become a permanent resident. I've never figured out why I am so attracted to wanting to live there, but I just am, and I even have a small American flag in my room. My biggest interests are American history and politics.
There are two problems with that. The first one is that I'm living in an environment where most people are anti American. I overhear nasty comments about Americans and the US in general, almost every day from kids at school and even adults in stores, malls, etc. Everyone in my classes thinks that it's stupid that I want to move to that "dump to the south". It makes me so mad but I just try to ignore it.
