Have you ever spoken different languages like Spanish or Japanese? Those are just two examples because you get to learn a lot of cultures when you live aboard. I believe that being a military child is terrific but sometimes difficult. Being a military child means to get to meet new people, you get to learn new cultures, but you have to leave family and friends behind. This is why I think being a military child is terrific but sometimes difficult.

My first reason why I like being a military child is because I get to meet new people. For example when I moved here I met a lot of people and became friends with them. Another example is that when my brother was younger he had friends in the US but moved and made more friends. For my last example when you move you leave family and friends behind but you get to meet new people. This is part of why I like being a military child.

The second reason why I like being a military child is because I get to learn new cultures. My first example is that when you travel it can be fun to learn a language like Japanese. My second example is that it can also be fun to learn how to play games of a different culture, like how Japanese kids play tug of war. My last example is that it can be fun to learn New Traditions like the Cherry Blossom Festival. This is part of why I like being a military child.

The third reason is that it can be hard to leave family and friends behind. For example, when you move and leave friends it's possible that you won't see them again. My second example is about my grandparents. When we moved to Okinawa I was very young and I only got to see my grandparents once. But it's not all bad because like I said in reason one you can always make new friends. This is the last part Of why I like being a military child.

This is why I like being a military child but I also think that it can sometimes be Challenging. You get to meet new people like how my brother made friends when we moved to Okinawa. You also get to learn new cultures like the Cherry Blossom Festival. But it can be challenging like how I had to leave my grandparents in the United states. I hope you enjoyed reading my writing. Here's a question: have you ever been A military child?
