2024/Alexander-

Hello, my name is Alexander. I am a military child. And I will explain my challenges and experiences as a military child. I have lived in Virginia, Texas, and Okinawa. These places are nice, but we can’t stay forever. Being a military child means that we always have to move from place to place every few years. It's sad to have to leave my friends, but it's a good thing also to be able to meet new people. I sometimes miss my older friends, but I still like my new friends.

One of my experiences while moving is when I went to New Jersey and lived with my grandma. I loved her home and her dog but one day we had to leave. I said goodbye once she dropped us off at the airport. A challenge I had to face was living somewhere without my dad. After we left New Jersey I had to experience the first day I ever had without seeing my father. He called every day. And a few months later he finally came back. It was a very tough time.

Those are some of the negatives but a few positives are in there too! Being a military child means you can go many places and make many friends and go to cool schools. Those are some of the things I experienced as a military child. I hope that you enjoyed reading about the experiences of my life as a military child.
