Bechtel Elementary School
I rush to the airport. I’m still so tired. I’m carrying two suitcases and dragging my feet on the floor. Now I’m on the airplane, half asleep on my mom. She gets me through it all. If you didn’t know, I am a part of the military community. It’s hard but so so so fun.
There are so many things I love about being a military child. It is fun to see places around the world. I also love learning about new cultures. New schools and friends are fun too. I love trying new food. Here in Okinawa, I found out I love sushi. The new holidays I learn about are really cool and I get to celebrate them. My school here in Okinawa is the best. I love my teacher. Her name is Miss Johnson. On holidays, she decorates and we do something fun.
Being a military child is hard because I have to leave my friends when I move. It is really hard when your parents leave for work. When mine do, I get really sad.
Even though being a military child is hard, I love it.
