The 5 people are listed as:
Herman Blas (Uncle)
Herminia Blas (Aunt)
Thomas Aguon (Grandfather)
Pedro Aguon (Father)
Teresita Aguon (Mother)
Herman Blas, my uncle, would do simple things like take me to go shopping with him, go on little trips around Guam, or even go out together to get ice cream. He taught me how to respect my elders and the importance of being respectful as a person. He also taught me about the world and the people in it and how I have to be careful and observant of my surroundings to make sure nothing bad happens. He was able to instill values in me that I still have today, which is the most beautiful part.
Herminia Blas, my aunt, showed me the importance of responsibility. She married early and didn't finish school, and she didn't have the lifestyle she wanted because of that. She always mentioned how important schooling was and how important it was to be smart about my choices and to think about the bigger picture in life.
Thomas Aguon, my grandfather, enjoyed the little things. He would always call to check on me and give me candy when I was feeling a little down. He always took me to church and instilled the importance of believing in God and how in some situations, my faith will be tested, but I shouldn't lose any hope for the future. To this day, I remember to always look to God when my faith is tested.
Pedro Aguon, and Teresita Aguon, my father and mother, showed me the importance of family. Family has meant everything to me and the reason behind that is because of the 5 people listed above. My parents especially always made sure I had a roof over my head and food on the table. They showed me the beauty in having a family and how important it is to pass on my values to my children.
Hopefully, my children will be able to write a blog like this and share the same experiences.
