Hi my name is Michael. I am 11 years old and I am a military child. I am going to tell you about my life as a military child.
I have lived in so many places like California, Virginia, Chicago, and now Okinawa. My favorite place I have lived is Okinawa. Okinawa is my favorite place because the food is so good.
The good thing about moving is you get to meet new friends and get to go to different places. But the challenges are you have to leave your friends and family behind.
Some fun experiences I have had as a military child are snowboarding and going to amusement parks like Disney World. I went to a Japanese arcade for my birthday. It is also fun to learn about new cultures. Some of my favorite times are when I go on road trips with my mom.
Some advice I have for you is to get contact information for your family and friends. You can ask for their number or their mom or dad’s number. As you can see, being a military child has some ups and downs.
