When you're a military child there are lots of challenges that we have to face. Some are changes some are leaving something or someone. Here are a few changes I had to face. I had to leave my dog. I wish he could experience what I did and that was hard. I needed a dog to take care of, I wanted to teach him some tricks, what I needed was him. Another challenge for me was leaving my friends. When I got here I was always crying. I wanted my friends back. I loved walking around with my two BFFs. I wanted them back badly. I also had to leave a lot of stuff behind because we did not have enough room. I also had to leave my family behind instead of Christmas with family we had it at Okinawa.

But, It's also an amazing experience. Here are a few examples, you get to taste new food like, tofu, sushi, ramen, and more. You also learn about other countries' cultures. For example, Japan's Culture is wearing kimonos for parties and other important things, and baseball is really famous there so if you built a baseball stadium you want to put it in Japan and then you're rich. You also get to see new stuff like cherry blossoms, familymart, new restaurants, like, gen, maybe anthony's pizza, and more. That’s why I think being a military child can be an amazing experience!
