What makes me american

I do not see myself as an American literally. I see myself as an American citizen I am, I was, and I will always remain Puerto Rican. I cannot say that i feel American because it is hard to say what American is. The term itself can be misunderstood by many. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say I am about between 5 and 6 because although I live in America and my life is in America my background my roots my beginning was in Puerto Rico.
