Ah Twinkle- don't feel obligated to apologize for your country of origin. I grew up in a very "hick, country, redneck" area and often felt I had to hide the backwoods mentality of the region.
The fact is they are probally impressed that you are so different from the citizens you were raised around. It takes a lot of natural morals and character to rise above everything you were raised around. Just let that DVD stand as an example of your begining in this world and measure how far you've risen.
