you will be fine!! im from Canada too and i love it down here the weather is awesome!!!! there are sooooo many people form all over that live here in Atlanta... when i talk to people and they ask me where im from i tell them and they always say wow canada is sooo beautiful! Very rarely i talk to someone who says ya i was born and raised here... i know people from CA, LA, NY, TX, NC, SC, FL MEXICO... CANADA... and theres all diff. races black, white, chinese, native american, indian, brazilian, exc.... you ll fit right in...
My daughter -- a junior in high school -- is friendly with a couple of girls who recently moved here -- and they seem to be adjusting nicely.Basically: be outgoing, friendly and receptive to new friends. Dont be boastful -- I don t think anyone really cares if your stomach is flat or not -- and don t compare life in your new school to the way things were at home in Canada. If you re athletic, join a team. Volunteer. I think you ll acclimate nicely.
Don t worry about Atlanta. If you want to make friends you will have plenty. Atlanta is a pretty large city with many people you should enjoy the south.
i live 30 minutes away from atlanta and i can tell you its okay if you want to meet new people i suggest you join a sport your really good at!
Don t worry about Atlanta. If you want to make friends you will have plenty. Atlanta is a pretty large city with many people you should enjoy the south. I moved from Ontario, Canada in the 5th grade and i adjusted quickly. I mean Atl is a cool place, most people are friendly, but the language/dialect is a little confusing because of the people s southern roots. But lastly mostly everyone here in Atlanta are foreign they were not born in Atlanta....the people here are from all walks of life
