Removing my accent
I was born in Canada and English is the only language i can speak but it's been 16 years and sometimes when I talk, sometimes it's not clear to hear unless you're right beside me and in some occasions I have a bit of an accent. And even though I was born here, i always say "me and her" instead of "Her and I". Will I over overcome it or will it always be like that since I'm not caucasion?

I don't think being white has anything to do with it. I'm half Navajo Indian and I've lived in Texas all my life so, I've got a southern draw. (yee haa) My best friend is from New Jersey and he is 38 but moved to Texas at 16, he still has an accent and every so often I've got to ask him to repeat himself. It's annoying on both ends of the conversation. My advice, is just be proud of who you are and where you came from, even if I don't understand ya. :D Because I don't think that your accent is going away anytime soon. You'll get used to the common phrases and pronunciations of the area you are in. Heck, one day you may move from there and have to "fit in" again. Maybe you don't get accused of being Mexican like I do sometimes LOL.
