Grace Coia March 17, 2023 Military Child Essay * Student Editor: Kobe Perales * Military Child/Military Brat/Third Culture Kid/Bridging Kid * I sometimes love being a military child. My positive story is one time I was visiting my family and we had to leave because of my dad’s job. We were going to see my grandma for another week but my dad’s job took him away and I did not get to see my dad for another three weeks. I was very sad. We were very sad at my grandma’s house. She was sad too, we were all sad, and then we played with my grandma. Well it was not kind of bad but we did not have vacation with my dad and we did not like that until we had to go back to our house and then a week went past. Finally my dad came home and we all had made a welcome home sign for him and set up the house and when he came inside we all gave him a very big hug and that felt so good that I hugged him so tight that he had to say that it hurts. I was so glad to see him! * First, the thing that I am going to talk about is travel. Sometimes I think that it is fun, well it is fun but you have to have a covid test, that does not feel good it gets pushed right up your nose and then sometimes my brothers cough because of the stick when it gets up there. My specific examples, when we get to my grandmas house I am always shy because I never really see her but a little while I get used to it so then we play together and sometimes we get to go outside in her yard, she has a giant yard well it is like a garden and she plants almost everything that I like. Okay let's get back to when we go outside to her garden. We usually made stuff with wood when we were young, like 3 we made like these wooden horses and they have wheels on the bottom and we would sit on them and move ourselves with our feet and that was fun. When we leave that is always hard for me because we had so much fun but now it is over. * Next, what I am talking about is that I had two different schools. Like my whole life because I was born in Japan and I was adopted to my wonderful family that took me and then when I was in preschool my mom taught me but when I was old enough I went to the school right next to us and I went here. My specific examples are that when I was in the school next to us well the school was called BOB HOPE in kindergarten I was very happy because my teacher and Evelia was in my class but then my parents moved me to a different class because the teacher that I had always had vacation so that is whey my parents moved me to another class and my teacher was named Ms.Enwapu she was a great teacher and now to this day she still teaches is that amazing sometimes I pass by her and we talk. When we moved to AEIS I took the bus. That was kind of scary for the first time but then I got used to it and I sat beside my brother. He always chooses the best seat and I thought that was not very fun. I just sat at the window seat. * Last, what I am going to talk about is my friends. They are very fun and I do not want to leave them but I don’t want them to leave me. My specific examples are when I had met this wonderful family and they had three kids. The oldest child was a kid named Caleb and then the next oldest was named Ava and I would play with her, well she was the only girl in her family like me, well both of them are mom’s where girl’s that was all the girls in the family. When they left I was very sad we had a late over it is not a sleep over it is like a late over like what I just said. All the girls went to a house and they had a little fun time like we painted are nail’s and then we watched a movie, while the boys were at the other house they got to play video games all that night I think that the girls one is much better than the boys one because we actually got to have fun well the boys only could play video games while we painted are nails and watched the movie . TAB In conclusion, I think I sometimes love being a Military child because sometimes my friends have to go to other places and I don’t get to see them anymore and that is very sad but I am happy that he are a Military child because we get to go to the hospital if we get hurt so I sometimes love being a Military child.
