Have you ever seen that Simpsons episode where Lisa is having an identity crisis then her substitute teacher writes "You are Lisa Simpson" on a piece of paper and gives it to her?
You need on one of those.
You don't need to conform to a specific class or race; you just need to be yourself.
I'm having a similar problem. I don't connect at all with Australia, I just want to travel. I think you have to make your own identity as you go.
Tell me about it! I don't connect with the US, especially not with my area of the US (northeast, near NYC). Travel ftw! I definitely want to do a study abroad program in college and travel even more after that!
Strange lol, I want to live in NYC, or at least have an apartment there, I don't think NY beats no tax in Dubai :)
Have you ever been overseas? I've been to Indonesia, Thailand and obviously Australia. On top of that next year I'll hopefully be going to Texas on an academic scholarship.
In that episode Lisa is has a crush on her sub teacher, but the message on the card is still good, that is; be yourself.
I'm on holidays at the moment so I'm just playing World of Warcraft :/
Be proud of your ancestry and where they come from because that is part of what makes you special. You don't have to speak Spanish or Italian in order to be one. Instead of looking at what you're not and what you can't do, be positive and focus on who you are and what you CAN do. Life throws you all kinds of challenges and if you're positive you will succeed.
I am German and Danish, but I refer to myself as a Dane because I have lived in Denmark my entire life.
Though, my surname is German; which i wear with pride because it´s filled with generals and great soldiers, and because my family is the only of my particularly surname in Denmark.
My family keeps the traditions of my military heritage.
So what I am? well, I am a Dane; because Denmark is my home country, and danish blood runs swiftly in me =)
You will find that Puerto Ricans... as do all Hispanics... come in all colors :) When I lived there my absolute best friend was "whiter" than me with blond hair and blue eyes. She hated it though, cause most of her family was darker skinned and all that. It's very mixed. I think that it's unfortunate that most Americans (Latin Americans) included have this idea that Hispanic means "brown" or dark skinned, when it doesn't really... maybe the majority are...
but that doesn't make it absolute :) Look at Carlos Ponce, Luis Miguel, Yuri, etc etc.
As for speaking Spanish... well, I can speak it, but not so well as a native.
I would say try to be proud of yourself as an individual. All these other things don't matter in the grand scheme of things. So yeah, just be you and be proud of what you make yourself :)
Yeah whenever my mom starts speaking Spanish to someone - usually at a parking garage in NYC or something - they NEVER believe that she's Hispanic at first. It's become something of an inside joke actually!

To be honest, I don't watch the Simpsons lol
But that sounds like a good episode!
