2025/Isabella-

I love to see my 12 year old brother's face when my dad comes home from deployment. That same year, my mom told me we were moving. I was so excited to go to a new place, explore, and try new food. We moved to Arizona and a week later I heard a big bang! It was a tornado and my dad was not there. We were so scared.

I was 7 years old when my mom told me we were moving to Korea. At first, I was so sad. But the next day, we were going through security, we boarded the plane, and the next thing I knew, we were in Korea. It was hard to make friends and to settle in at first, but I made new friends.

Being a military child is special to me because I love making new friends. It is hard, but I push through it.
