If anything that can be an advantage - you have a ton of school programs that will help you travel as a student (high school or college), so look into those. All around the USA (going to do that after I graduate highschool), Amsterdam, Toronto, London, France, Greece / Rome, anywhere I went in Assassin's Creed 2, Egypt, all around China and Japan, and Australia. As a high school student, it all seems to out of reach. But maybe one day. I'll try to make it happen. Cam's right - there are a ton of programs out there for high school students to get money for and/or school credits to travel and live abroad even while you're still in high school. When I was a senior, I got a fully funded Congress-Bundestag scholarship to live in Germany for a year and attend a German high school. (I declined it - 'true love' distracted me.) Since then I got a separate opportunity to live in Germany, also fully funded, through the Fulbright program. Ended up staying more than 3 years and I'm fluent now. I actually got so bummed that none of my friends or even just random people I talked to in the USA knew about opportunities to travel, live, and work abroad that I made this guide. I hope it helps you!
