These are comments from some of the 10th graders who are in my English Skills and homeroom.
The question was: What would you want Americans to know about Chuuk?
"I would like to tell them about our Kinship between family and friends. I really like Chuukese local food. They really taste good. Also about the Chuukese myths." Alex
"For me Chuukese culture is the most important thing in my life. There are many best thing about Chuukese culture. For us it's the best, but I don't know what would you think. The relationship between peole that is the best thing in our culture. In our islands people belong to each other. In families we just stay together, share things that we have. No one on top and under, we all just equal to one another. I f someone have problem in his/her family like funeral, we the relatives also get involve to help. Or anybody just want to help he/she can also help."-Lovelyn
"First and most importantly; to know that we Chuukese are not as stupid as we look. So mainly they have to learn not to be arogant, ignorant and at least face that fact that we are all equal, no high or low!" -Chris

I just found out the new season of Survivor is going to be in Micronesia. Although this doesn't have any impact on you whatsoever, it makes me happy that I might see some more of what wildlife is like there, and mis syou just a little bit less.
