My name is Carly, and I'm just your average 15-year-old girl, except for one thing - my obsession with Nordic countries. I'm not sure where this passion came from, but it's been a part of me for as long as I can remember.
Every night, I would go to sleep under my glow-in-the-dark aurora borealis ceiling stickers, dreaming of fjords and reindeer everyday, I would come home from school, kick off my shoes, and settle down for a few hours of Danish and Norwegian language lessons. I even started a Nordic club at school. We were a small group, but our enthusiasm for all things Nordic was unmatched.
One day, I received an email that would change my life. It was from the Nordic Club International. They were hosting a cultural exchange program and my application had been accepted! I was going to spend the summer in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland! My heart pounded with excitement as I imagined all the experiences and adventures that awaited me.
The summer finally came, and I was off to Norway. I was mesmerized by the breathtakingly beautiful fjords, the friendly people, and the mouthwatering food. Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland were just as amazing. The highlight of the trip was when I was invited to participate in the Midsummer festival in Sweden. Dancing around the maypole, wearing a flower garland on my head, and singing traditional songs - it was like something out of a dream.
Then, the plot twist that I never saw coming. I was in the National Library of Finland, researching for a school project. I found an old document about the immigration of Finns to America. To my shock, there was my own family name. I dug deeper and found out that my great-great-grandparents were Finnish immigrants! All this time, I was drawn to the Nordic countries, and I had no idea that I had roots there.
Suddenly, all the pieces fell into place. My love for the cold weatherand my inexplicable comfort in the Nordic silence - it was in my blood all along. I was not just a fan of the Nordic countries; I was a part of them.

That summer changed my life. I came back home with a deeper understanding of my own identity and a renewed passion for the Nordic countries. I still dream of the Northern Lights, but now, it's a dream of homecoming.
