Hi, my name is Everett and my dad is in Military. There are some pros and cons of being a military child. You get to have fun and see new things but you have to say bye and it’s very hard because you have to say bye a lot.
What I like about being a military child…
You get a lot of new friends, like you get to meet your neighbors and you can become friends and it is nice because you are next door to them and they show you cool places.
You get a new home, like when you get a new home it could be bigger than your last house. You can have a house that is 2 storeys and then 3 storeys like I lived in a 2 store home to 3 store home.
There are new things to experience, like you get to meet new people from all over the world and you get to see new beaches and languages like I have met so one that was from Italy.
What I don’t like about being a military child…
Leaving your family is hard because when you stay at your grandma and grandpa's house for a long time it is hard to say bye and move far away like I stayed at my grandma and grandpa's house for a long time.
Moving to a new place is hard because you have to say bye to your friends, family, and classmates and you don't know what the new place is like so you get scared and you are scared because you stayed with them for so long.
As you can see sometimes it is very cool to be a military child but it is also very hard and sad to say goodbye to friends and family like moving and meeting new people and it is hard to say goodbye to your old friends.
