Latvian military childs life.

My life has become a lot more interesting and also hard. My whole life I have lived in Latvia, and then suddenly I moved. Right now I'm living in Belgium and it is harder than in my own home country; everybody speaks a different language than me, and the language is not easy, it’s hard, and there are only 9 or fewer Latvian families where I live. It is not like Italians or Spanish people where they are a lot and they can socialize more. The fact that I had to move away from my friends also is not easy. I’m still not used to the different time zones, I have a trippy feeling about it. The school is much much different than the school in my home, the grading system is a lot different than my home country's school, like 40% in my country is still passing, the periods are way shorter like 40 minutes and the passing periods are 10-15 minutes long. They also teach everything way faster than in Latvian schools, but the teachers are more strict. Overall the experience is a lot different than in my own home country school.
