Hi! my name is Willow. 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 live in Japan but I have also lived in 29 palms in California, a different area in California, Iowa, and Georgia. My favorite place I've lived is Okinawa but I miss Iowa because it snowed. I also explore many places. I've been ziplining, Legoland, and hiking. One of my favorite things about being a military child is getting to experience new places and making new friends. One of the really hard things is my dad leaving or going on deployment and leaving all my friends. Have you ever missed your parents or older brothers or sisters when they had to leave for a trip? I think being a military child is hard sometimes, especially when you miss them. But the good part is getting presents like I got money from Taiwan then we went to Taiwan to experience what my dad felt like, and it was pretty nice. That's what I think about being a military child is like. When you’re a military child you have to be brave and never scared.
