USA, Canada / Leaving Poland. How can I adapt in the US having no family or friends in this country? [13]

There is a Polish forum in which are all the informations about studying in the US and according to them, if my parents income doesn't exceed the amount of 40 000 $ per year then I have a real chance for getting the scholarship. There are scholarships predicted to foreigners. I've read a lot about it and also the company, which I mentioned above helps students get the scholarships. I don't know exactly how it works but I know that I can get one.

I'm actually aware of all things you that you mentioned but I have plans for this. I've been looking for informations about the scholarships and I have a real chance for that. Besides there's a company in my city that helps Poles with the SAT tests, with visa, college selection and other stuff like that. I even did some research on colleges in cities that I'm interested in and I guess my fist shot will be UPenn. As far as I know it's a good college in a nice city.

I'm also planning a little unrealistic career - I want to be a writer. But if I succeed init I won't have to be worried about the job or the money. Of course I realise that I might not be as good as I think I am. That's why I have some alternatives. Including coming back to Poland. But we'll see.

Anyway I don't want to go to Polish university first because I kinda have a plan for my life and staying any longer in here would be a step backward for me.
