Carolina is a 48-year old immigrant from Romania. Despite the fact that she has resided in the United States for over thirteen years and has integrated here, she still identifies entirely with Romania:
100%, I am Romanian. I was over 35 years older [when I immigrated to the United States] and my roots are there you know. I don’t think I am sacrificing myself to be here. I integrated into this country. I know I have to do this, that I follow the rules and everything. But in my heart, I am over there; it’s like I belong there [rather] than here.”
