Being a military child is fun, but it can also be difficult. I get to explore new places and do exciting things, like traveling to different countries. While being a military child is great, it can also be hard because we have to move a lot. However, moving can also be fun because I get to explore new things, like visiting new beaches and trying different foods. At the beginning of the school year, I met a lot of new friends, like Ava, Jenedie, Anabell, Angelika, and Leena. My teacher is nice, but sometimes I need help. I also have friends I knew before, like Emily, Adaline, Eliana, and Gustavo. One thing I like about being a military child is that I get to learn new languages. Right now, I’m trying to learn Japanese. I also love the opportunities to try new experiences, especially traveling. Before moving to Okinawa, I lived in Hawaii, which was a fun place to live because of its beautiful beaches. Being a military child is both exciting and sad. Moving means saying goodbye to friends and leaving behind schools I love. But it also means making new friends, going to a new school, and doing new and exciting things. For example, I have tried new foods like shaved ice, different types of chicken, and various kinds of cheese. However, I don’t really like cheese because it tastes kind of gross! Even though moving can be tough, I still love being a military child because of all the amazing experiences it brings!
