Being a military connected child can be very sad. You need to say goodbye to pets and friends when you move to different places. You might have to leave your pets with people you do or don’t know. You need to say goodbye to friends when you leave. At the same time, being a military child is fun. You get to meet new people and make new friends. Being in the military means you might be risking your life. You may need to say goodbye if one of your family members dies in a war or loses a friend in a war. Sometimes, when you see a friend again, they might have changed. If you're lucky, they are still a friend. If your childhood friend is now being mean to you, all you need to do is walk away. Moving around is fun because you get to learn new languages and go to new schools. What is it like for you to be a military connected child?
