The United States, a country with a population where most of its citizens have come from elsewhere in the last 200-300 years, is still struggling with a sense of "belonging. "It seems that we spend most of our lives searching for something we lost. The something we lost was ourselves. What are you going to do with your story? After all, your story is your life."
