2025/Jenaya-

My dad was in the military even before I was born and is still in it. Throughout my life so far, I've only lived in 3 countries: Italy, United States and Japan. Since we moved so often, I had to attend a lot of different schools and have met a lot of different people throughout the years, creating new experiences for me. Naples Elementary School, West Carthage Elementary School, Cactus Trails Elementary School, Shaw Road Elementary School, Kalles Junior High School, and Zama Middle High School are all the schools I've been to so far. Constantly having to move was challenging at times and was hard to go through, but I was able to pull through despite all the hardships I've faced. As I continue to grow, I'll have to face all these problems on my own someday, which is scary to think of, but I'm beginning to prepare myself for these challenges so I can overcome them without needing the support my parents have provided me all my life. It was easy to live as a military child, excluding all the moving, but it's time I learned to fend for myself now and prepare for my future as an adult.
