My name is Anna and I am new

Hey everyone!

My name is Anna and I am new. My parents are Swedish, I live in England and I go to an American school (and I have a very American accent). I feel sort of torn culturally because I am very attached to England (I lived here since I was 5) but my sisters have both moved to the US for university and work and my parents are going to move back to Sweden when I go off to university. I’m a junior now in high school (I’m 17) so I have to begin deciding where to go to university whether it is in Sweden, UK, USA or all the other countries I would love to live/study in (such as France, Holland, Australia and New Zealand). I joined TCK partly to see what other people in my situation did/are doing. Plus I love meeting fellow TCKids! I love traveling to cool places, art, music and MUN (I’m a bit of a nerd). Well anyway, its nice to meet everyone! :)

    Hi and welcome :)

    If you feel ‘at home’ in England and have a lot of friends there and understand the culture, I’d try and stay there for university and try and find work too.

    I don’t know why your sisters moved to the US but I think it might be because there might be better job opportunities there than in the UK. From my experience American companies treat foreign nationals better than UK ones, i.e. in terms of salaries!

    If your parents are moving back to Sweden that’s not a bad thing either because the UK isn’t that far from Sweden :) You can fly there to see them every once in awhile.

    Anyway good luck in whatever you do and hope you stick around to get to know us here :)

    Anyway this is what I did or had to do.

    I pretty much lived in the Philippines from age 2- 17 with detours to New Zealand and the US for one year each during that time. Then I went to university in Japan which I didn’t like at all, but that’s what my parents said I had to do. My Japanese was imperfect and I didn’t understand the culture there. I don’t look back to my university years with fond memories at all.

    I guess this is why I thought it might be nice for you to have some kind of a continuity in your life and go to a university in a country where you speak the language perfectly and understand the culture.
