Dear Reader, I haven’t been a military child for that long. When my mom met Justin, he was in the military and that's when our lives changed. My first time I ever moved was October 2022. I moved to Okinawa, Japan. When my mom told me we were moving I felt very sad. I was going to miss all of my family and my friends. When I first got to Okinawa, I was nervous, sad and excited at the same time. I went to the Okinawa beach for the first time and there were animals and rocks everywhere so I couldn't really enjoy it. The water was also really cold. I don’t really like the food here because I don’t like seafood but I do like ramen. My favorite place to go is Round One, Round One is a place where you can earn prizes or play games. They also have trampolines there. Tons of activities for kids. It’s really fun. As soon as I got to my new house, I started making friends. It's cool because I get to live on a military base. Living on base makes me feel safer. When I first moved, I didn’t feel too good. But now I’ve lived here for six months and things are much better. I go to a pretty good school. There are a lot of good teachers. Being a military child is not too bad. Sincerely, Dylan Witrado
