Coming back to the Marshalls Islands was so exciting. I left
when I was ten years old. The At that time, the Marshallese people were
respectful, loving and caring, and also it was a very beautiful island. Now that
I am back and 21 years old, everything is very different. Marshallese
women back then usually respected their loved ones, but nowadays most of the
mothers go to the clubs wearing inappropriate clothing drinking and dancing
with other guys that are not their husbands. They have no more respect for their
loved ones, but the most unbelievable thing is that they now want a younger or
a richer man to be with instead of their baby daddy. The same goes for the
fathers – they leave their children with other family members so they can go to
the clubs and look for a younger and prettier girl just to get back at their
wife. Living life nowadays in the Marshall Island has changed because the
leaders of the family which are the mother and father have no more respect for
love and one another, and they might even blame the children for their problems.
Therefore children stop loving and caring for their parents. This island
used to be to so beautiful but now it is so dirty. People throw trash on the
road and in the beautiful ocean. The beautifulness and the loving are fading
away from the island and the people of the Marshall Islands.
