Uniqueness is wasted on youth. Like a fine wine or a solid flossing habit, you'll be grateful for it when you're older. Naturally, being born in a foreign country is not the only coolness savings bond out there, but it is an automatic vehicle into self-possession when there are no other cars on the road. Maybe you don't come from the mansion on the hill or the worst shack at the foot of it. Maybe you're not religious or a spelling bee prodigy. Maybe you're not the youngest of nine kids or the child of a B-list movie star. Oh, but imagine if you had a South African accent.
