Life as a military child has its ups and downs. As a military child you meet new people and have brand new experiences all the time. You explore all over the world and make new friends. But when you move you have to leave your friends, family, and sometimes pets, but you always make new friends. Another thing is my father is in the air force and has to go places away from home, sometimes for a long time while others short. I’m always sad when he has to go somewhere but he always finds time to talk while he's gone. Also when I went to school off base, I learned that it isn't common for people to do all of that. So that's how I learned what it was like to be a military child, moving from place to place, meeting new people, seeing new places, while most people don't experience thing like that. Although it can be hard to be a military child it can be great.
