International Marriage My Life Where America’s Day Begins I am proud to say that I am from Guam (born and raised), where people would say, “Where America’s Day Begins.” However, I am originally from a smaller island that is part of the Micronesia called Palau. In this passage, I will give you a brief narrative about myself along with how my childhood experiences affected me as an adult. In addition, I will also bring up my plans for the future that I currently have taken into consideration. I am from the northern village of Guam called Yigo (pronounced as jee-go). We only experience two types of seasons, wet and dry seasons, we enjoy the hot sunny and rainy weather all year round. Guam is a cosmopolitan community with great generosity. The Filipino, Japanese and Korean, Chinese, and Micronesian immigrants, each group who have added their unique contributions, enriches Guam’s culture. I come from an incredible traditional family.
