2025/Analysia-

Hello, my name is Analysia, but everyone calls me Nani. I am 11 years old. I have 12 siblings, two dogs and a cat. Today I'm going to talk about the pros and cons of being a military child.

First let me tell you about where I have lived. I have lived in Tennessee, Okinawa, and Pensacola. I have also traveled to Taiwan, Dominican Republic, and China. I’m going to France for a birthday trip.

There are a lot of pros of being a military child so here are a few. You get amazing gifts from all around the world when your parents are deployed. You can make new friends and meet people who have the same struggles as you. When we first moved to Okinawa, I was so happy that I was able to experience a new culture and food.

There are also some cons to being a military child. You don’t get to see your family for years on end and you can’t go to places like Target or Walmart. One con for me was leaving behind all of the friends I had made and my house. I even had a meltdown when we got on the plane because I was not able to see my friends ever again.

At the end of the day, there are both pros and cons to being a military child. Before I wrap this up, some advice I want to give for other kids is just be happy where you are and be happy that you are able to go to school and meet new friends.
