This is my first time living abroad. I don’t know much about it but I try my best. I miss my friends back where I used to live and it’s hard to move away and not know when you’re going to see them again. Ever since I moved where I am now though, people have been kind and I have great friends here. I do have to wonder how long I will be here and it makes me sad to think of moving again. But I enjoy where I am today because If I worry about the future too much, I’ll regret missing everything that’s happening now. Despite missing people when I move, this life can be pretty amazing. Because I live in Europe now, there are amazing places close to us and every school break or weekend is a new adventure. For example, my family spent our February break in Croatia! And for spring break, we’re planning a cruise! I don’t like missing my friends but this life means I get to make lots of friends wherever I go that I never would have met if I hadn’t moved. This adventure is full of good and bad. I didn’t want to move at first, but now that I’m here, I love it even if it is hard sometimes. This life is difficult but I am proud of being brave enough to try it. I look forward to all the adventures I will have as a military child.
