2025/Alex-

Hi, my name is Alex. I am 10 years old and I have 1 dog in the states and a snake. I am a military child. I am going to tell you all about my life as a military child. I have lived and moved to Arizona, Mexico, Okinawa, Hong Kong Japan and California. My favorite place I lived is California because I had a lot of friends there and they are nice. I also like California more than Japan because it has stuff that Japan doesn't like spicy chips like hot Fritos and chick fil a. Also, I like California because I have been there longer, and I am more familiar with it. Three things I like about being a military child are that I get to move a lot, make friends and explore new places. I can also go to famous places in the world like Tokyo Disney, Osaka and Tokyo. When I celebrate, I get to celebrate my dad’s promotions and put badges on his uniforms. Some challenges I face are when my dad leaves for deployment, leaving my friends and moving to new schools. My advice is to be friends with your neighbors so you can be friends with them at school and they can introduce you to their friends.
