Proposal       "Where are you from?" I've been asked this everywhere I go and I answer back with the same words "I'm from beautiful south pacific, The Marshall Islands!" Most people don't know where the Marshall Islands are but after reading this you will learn where and who the Marshallese people are. This topic is perfect for me because it allows those who don't know where I'm from, to learn something new. The Marshall Islands is a very beautiful place. Its a place I call home.

    "Marshallese" are the people of the Marshall Islands and growing up around Marshallese made me who I am today. My heritage background is God 1st, family 2nd, and school 3rd. I know most of my history, but soon I will get in touch with my pastor from church who is a full blooded Marshallese and lived most of his live in Islands. He is a elderly man who lived among the coral reefs. My pastor is considered a expert to me because people look to him when it comes to advise. The Marshall Islands is also know for the nuclear bomb testing on March 1954 (bikini atoll) during the intense cold war. The nuclear testing affected my islands and the people back then. It caused sickness, jelly baby's and even death.

   The outcome of my research will not just help the student of  Palo Verde but those who have never seen the brown skin of a Marshallese. My product is going to be a pamphlet that will have all the things you need to know about my culture and my heritage.
