2024/Isabella-

As a military child I have moved around a lot. I don't like moving so often but it's good to move more to make new friends. It's hard to move around every 2-3 years but it's nice to travel and see a lot of new things. I was born in Okinawa so it wasn't that bad to move back. I didn't have to adapt a lot because after I lived in Okinawa for 3 years, I went to Florida which is around the same climate. Three and a half years later my dad got orders back to Okinawa but he had to go to South Korea for 1 year before we moved so me, my mom, and my brother were really sad but it was worth it. About 2 and a half years ago we landed at the Naha Airport. My family has been exploring almost every Sunday since then. My uncle got orders to Okinawa 1 year before we did so we got to hang out with him and his family. My family sometimes comes over to visit sometimes during the summer. I'm really glad I get to experience a lot and move around because not many kids have that so that is the 1 of many reasons that I am grateful to be a military child. I'm lucky to be in the military.
