Hi, my name is Colin. I am 10 and about to turn 11 years old and I'm a military child. I’ll be telling you about my life as a military child
Right now, I live in Okinawa, Japan. I have only lived here for 5 months. I came from Florida, but I was born in New Jersey. I’ve been to a lot of places like Washington, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, and the Philippines. I loved living in Florida the most because it gives me beach vibes and I had an amazing school over there.
The good thing about being a military child is that you can go on fun road trips with your family like Disney World, Legoland, and Universal. You can also make new friends from all over the world. And maybe sometimes you can celebrate your dad getting promoted.
There are also some cons of being a military child, like moving to other places and leaving your friends behind. Also, your mom/dad going on deployment and leaving you for about 1 year.
My advice for you is to cherish these moments and to get your friends or their parents phone numbers so you can keep in touch. I hope you take this advice for the hard challenges along the way.
