When I came to korea it was not easy because I had to make friends on base instead of off base because it was hard and not many people speak english there and it was even harder when my family went shopping. Because they all speak korean but when I first came I was on base but after a while. There I had to go off base and the only friends I made were my mothers friends childs. When it came the first day I didn't know the rules and where to go because I just went to kindergarten after school started and I was super shy. I just sat down and did not talk but after a while I made my first friend called rosa. Every year I celebrate the new year because I am from China. What I do when I celebrate is eat hot pot or go somewhere or I just eat with my friends. One of my favorite memories is field day when I was in 1st grade and I got to play in the water and my bestie and I shared the fun. But I knew that we were going to be best friends forever. One time it was hard to enjoy the fun because my friend made a new friend and I honestly thought that she didn't wanted to be my friend anymore so i tried to make new friends but they said no so I tried playing by myself but when I was someone asked me if I wanted to be friends and I said yes and then I had made a new friend after second grade shed move and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye and after that I was just sad into one of my friends told me that friends will have arguments but your family will still always love you and that just made me thinking should I believe them but after a while of thinking I gave in and believed her and really when I asked her when was she going to move and she said in two years and I was moving in two years. So I said to myself perfectly then I would be moving and she would be moving. After second grade I made a lot of new friends and only started to worry about myself and when I had felt down I would say what my friend would say because she would say this to me. You will always be brave and you will always be smart and I would just think of that word. And most of the time it will help me do new things like swimming and trying new foods and a lot more. I am proud of my family being a part of the military because most of the time I get to go to events with the military.
