Being a military child means a lot, it means that you never stay in one place forever, it means that you never only have one friend. My dad is in the military, he is in the Air Force. I am really proud of my dad because he works hard to serve our island and he makes me a military child.

I will tell you what being a military child means to me. Since I am a military child, my life has a lot of changes like: moving, making new friends, living in a new house, being enrolled in a new school, living in a new town or city. It is hard at first but you will get used to it. Just like I did, for me moving is actually fun now! When you move, it might be sad but it will be fun and exciting when you experience it.

My family goes through a lot of changes every few years and it is pretty hard and sad. But, I learned that being a military child is actually a fun experience because I get to visit new places, meet new people, and go to a new school. When I first moved, I was really sad because I lived in Germany for seven years. When I heard my family and I were moving to North Carolina, I was really sad. But, if I hadn’t moved I wouldn’t know what moving would be like and how it felt.

I was also enrolled in a new school and boy, was I nervous! But, then a girl named Journey came up to me and started talking to me. From then on, we were close friends. I made even more friends as the school year went on. Now, when I think about my first move I remember how sad I was but now I am happy that I moved. I made a lot of memories over the years.

To me, being a military child means: happiness, joy, emotion, and adventure. Being a military child is an adventure because like the people in those adventure movies they go through emotion, finding new surroundings, being happy, and when they reach where they were headed they are joyful. Just like military children. I am a proud military child!
