Kadena Elementary School
When I was in North Carolina my life was ok. I usually played outside with my friend. We didn't get a lot of snow. Only like an inch of snow. My mom got orders to go to Okinawa for 3 years. So, we packed all of our stuff and took a plane ride to Okinawa. Luckily one of my mom’s friends drove us to our new house. After a few days passed we finally got our stuff. Then I got settled. When summer ended, I had to go to my new school. I was really nervous at first but it wasn't that bad after all. Being a military kid is fun and sometimes stressful or sad because you get to go to so many places but you have to switch schools and leave your friends. I get to learn many different languages and culture. I also get to make so many new friends. I get to go to places that I've never heard of. When me and my family got here, I didn’t even know that there was a place called Cat Cafe. Being a military kid has its ups and downs but it's still pretty awesome!
