Being a military child is hard. Like leaving the ones you care about, like pets, family, and friends. But it can also be an amazing experience to be one! This is what I think about being a military child.

It’s hard because you have to leave your friends. Leaving your friend is really, REALLY hard. Before I moved here I had to leave my best friend, Lyrick. You also have to leave your pet(s). Leaving your pet(s) is just like leaving your friend(s). When I left my pets, Max and Brody, I had to because my brother had allergies to fur. I miss them. Another reason is because you have to leave your family. Sometimes you have to leave your family such as your grandpa, grandma, and many more. I had to leave my whole other family.

But it can be amazing because you can make new friends! Making new friends is fun, and you get to play, talk, and hangout! One time when I moved here I was looking for a new friend, and I found one named Oliver. You can also learn new languages! Learning new languages can expand your mind! When I first had culture I learned Japanese and it was awesome! You can also learn about the culture! You can learn the country’s traditions, clothing, language and so much more! When I kept having culture, I learned all of Japanese traditions!

As you can see, being a military child can be really hard, but it can also be a fun experience! That's what I think about being a military child.
