Saipan is my home, but
Saipan isn't Home Sweet Home to me, right now it's the last place I want to be at.
Saipan used to be the tropical paradise where tourists could relax on the beach and enjoy the blazing sunset in "peace".
Saipan was a place where an abundance of tourists would visit, to witness the beautiful sights like
Bonzai Cliff, and the under water paradise known as the Grotto. Though this all changed, because of how much of a tragedy the economy is.
Ever since the economy became a downfall, we have locals robbing tourists that visit the island. An example is how a tourist and his wife got robbed while they were enjoying the sights of
Bonzai Cliff. This makes other tourists scared to visit the island. There are probably more
boonie dogs in the island than the number of tourists arriving. Tourism has been decreasing lately, and when it does it impacts the economy in a bad way. Another reason that causes the economy's downfall, is Capital Flight. The reason for this is because
CUC can't even keep the power on. An example is how Hollywood Theaters closed down recently, luckily fate was so kind that Hollywood would reopen this coming
Friday, May 23.
Tragedy and misery are two words that describe how the power outages affect my family. Tragedy is the first reason because instead of buying things we actually want, me and my family have to be buying either batteries for lanterns and flashlights or candles. Not just for one day, but almost every week, because who knows when
CUC is going to shut off the power again. No matter how bad I want to do my assignments it's difficult when the power turns off, because not only is it hard to see, but also I don't have any
Internet access. This leads to affecting my grades, by causing me to fail or either my assignments are incomplete. The second reason is misery, because me and my family have to suffer not getting enough sleep because we have to placate are little siblings all night, to stop whining because of the heat that causes them to shed tears and sweat. Me and my elders have endured having to hear the annoying sounds of are neighbor's baby, whining all night. Though despite the fact that my family doesn't get enough sleep, they still wake up early every morning just to go to work, so that they can put food on the table.
Yes, I live right next to a beach, if you're wondering what beach, it's Ladder Beach. This means that every morning I wake up I hear the waves crashing against the sand, I smell the salt water, and I get to enjoy the beautiful sight of the ocean, as I watch the sun rise. Sometimes I go swimming with my friends and family after school. 
I have been trying to find a word that can best describe my ancestors, and I have just realized that their isn't any. I don't know anyone else who can manage to survive through thick and thin, on an island, like the way my ancestors have. My general purpose is to inform the world about the people that God created with the toughest and most expensive material, they go by the name of Ancient Chamorros. The ancient Chamorro culture is that they must compromise their beliefs and social forms, the Chamorro language, their customs, and all the things made & used by the Chamorros. The Ancient Chamorros were described as tall, large, and handsome people. They were said to be very strong compared to the Spaniards. They were said to live long lives. They wore little/no clothing. Both men & women wore various items of jewelry. 
The Chamorros developed a unique language. They spoke an old Austronesian language. When they arrived in the Marianas they began to create new words. The Chamorro language continued to develop, and today is much different from the old Austronesian language. Tools used for preparing food included mortars, pestles, scrapers, pounders, and pottery jars. They used human bones for spears. They performed every task they needed, with the required tools they invented. They made fishing hooks from shells and human bones. The Chamorros build their homes from mainly wood and thatch. At a later period some Chamorros built latte-stones to make houses. 
For construction and other tasks they made adzes, axes, awls and rope.Their social structure consists of three distinct caste of people. The upper caste were called Matua. The middle caste was called Atcha’ot. The lowest caste was called Manachang. Chamorro clans were matrilineal. Women had a very high rank in the community. Woman ran the household and controlled all the property in the family. If a women separated from her husband she took with her the children and all the household belongings. Chamorros didn't have a specific religion, though they believed that a person’s spirit lived on after death they’re called mananiti.
Chamorros would keep the skull or the bones of a dead relative in their house and care for it. Their diet was made up of foods that they gathered or grew. The ocean provided much of their food. There were also wild fruits and vegetables in the jungle. They also planted crops. For transportation the Chamorros created fast sailing canoes called proas. A large canoe was used for traveling between islands. A medium sized canoe was used for fishing outside the reef. A small sized canoe was used for inside the reef.
Another interesting fact about some of the reasons for the fall of Rome is the decline in morals and values, those morals and values that kept together the Roman legions and thus the empire could not be maintained towards the end of the empire. Crimes of violence made the streets of the larger cities unsafe. Even during PaxRomana there were 32,000 prostitutes in Rome. Emperors like Nero and Caligula became infamous for wasting money on lavish parties where guests ate and drank until they became ill.
