Reflections on Life in the U.S.
In the video, Anita also reflects on the diverse opinions people have about the United States. "The U.S. is a very popular country, and everyone has an opinion about it. The most important points are that some people have a very negative view, others a very positive one, but there are also those of us who are a bit more neutral and objective. We can recognize the good and bad aspects and form a range of opinions, and that would be me," she said.
She also highlights the importance of adapting to the fast-paced life in the U.S. "The first thing you need to understand when you step into the United States is the speed at which the system operates, the speed at which everything moves, and the speed at which you need to live within yourself," she reflected.
