Kinser Elementary School
Being a military child can be both a fun and tough adventure. One challenge is moving a lot and saying goodbye to friends, even best friends. I switch schools every year because that’s part of military life. But the great part is that I get to make so many new friends, and sometimes, I even run into old ones since many military kids move too! I love being a military child because I get to see new parts of the world and try different foods. For example, I’ve tasted new types of pasta, soups, burgers, ice creams, and all kinds of delicious dishes. My teacher, Ms. Crawford, is so kind and helpful. She teaches us so much, lets us read a lot, and even gives us extra recess sometimes! During indoor recess, we play fun games, and occasionally, she lets us play games even when we don’t have to stay inside. I have a lot of friends at school, and we have a wonderful time together. Being a military child has its challenges, but it also brings so many exciting experiences!
