2024/Fiona-

I am a 5th grader and I am a Military child. Being a Military child can be hard but there are some good things about being a Military child. Some things that I like about being a military child is getting to travel to new places but the hard thing about moving so much is that you have to leave friends and family which can be hard when you are close to them.

I can give you some examples of where I have been and the experience I had in that place. I live in Okinawa, Japan. I have lived here for 3 years now. A great thing about Okinawa is that the food is really good here. Not just the food but their culture is very interesting to learn about. When you live in Okinawa there are lots of people that speak Japanese so you might want to learn how to communicate.

I lived on the mainland for 4 years and it was so far the best place yet. Mainland is pretty small but it felt like the perfect place for me. Mainland has snow most of the time so a fun activity we would do is go to Mount Fuji with friends. If you don't know what Mount Fuji is then let me tell you Mount Fuji is like a mountain of snow where you can go sledding and snowboarding which I went sledding way more but if you want you can also climb the mountain for the day.
