I want to go to America so baadly...

You know, I'm not from America, but I really, really want to go there. When I was 11 years old, dad bring us with him in California for... Around 6 months. That was incredible! I loved there! People, food, school, everything! And now, parents told me that when I turn 16 I can move out from them and start to live in America with their friends! Yuppie! Well... This is Michigan... I read about Michigan, and you know... That's not really my place. But also they got friends in NYC, well this is totally my town. I need some tips or facts about living in America, just to get ready. Thanks ya'll! (◍•ᴗ•◍)
