2025/Zoey -

My life as a military community member is fun and exciting. I get to go to fun places and see cool stuff. Some of my favorite places are New Sanno in Tokyo, and I love to walk around in Tokyo. Sometimes I feel puzzled and confused when my parents make me move. It is cool but also sad because I have to say good-bye to friends and family. Sometimes I even get to go eat yummy and good food. I get to eat dumplings,meat,udon and more healthy and delicious food.

My mom and dad work to support the military. My mom works as a lunch monitor in my school, and my dad works as a contractor for the military boats. My mom goes around the lunch tables and if a kid raises their hand she has to help them. I am happy I get to see my parents after school every day. My grandparents get to come and my grandparents that live here in Japan can come visit me too. I have friends from different places. Some of my friends speak different languages like me. I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese. I live in the military community too. I like that I get to make new friends that have similarities like me and come from all over the world. I make new friends at school. I get to learn different cultures too. My mom knows most of the cultures. My life as a military connected child is very interesting and thank you for reading my story!
