What was the point of me coming to the U.S.A?

So, I was born in Mexico, but my family came to the U.S.A (Please note: We came here legally, I just put this so people won't think I'm an illegal) to supposedly look for new opportunities. I have been living in the U.S.A my entire life since I was 1 yr old, and as I was growing up, I started to ask myself: "What was our goal?" I learned from my family that as soon as I graduate high school, we are simply going back to Mexico. As soon as I learned that, I protested to the Idea, since this all felt like a major waste of time. So then I asked my family: "We are going back to Mexico to do what?" My family said: " To take care of the farm" I face-palmed so hard inside my head I felt like I was going to explode from anger. All my hard work in school was to run a farm this entire time? I still protested against the Idea, since I was not letting the farm win against my education. I have bigger dreams than a mere farm. I will go to a university to become more than a farmer, travelling around the world in search of a place that I can proudly, without hesitation, call home. Mexico may have been my country of birth, but it will never truly be my home. I refuse to go back there. Curious to know why I won't go back there? The reason for this is because my family built a slightly bigger home than anyone else's in the village. So now everyone in the village thinks I'm a rich spoiled kid. It really is unnerving to know that when I go outside in the village everyone thinks my pockets are loaded with money. But I have a feeling that Mexico will always be haunting me forever, as if it is trying to chain me to itself. Also, I feel like I'm beginning to loose my sanity by the day as all my friends transferred to a different school so now I have no one to rely on for help. Well the future can be pretty unpredictable so I'll just wait and see where this goes. Thank you for reading! Have a great day!
