Being a military child is interesting because being a military child comes with its pros and cons. Some good things are being able to travel everywhere and see different sites but sometimes you can be a bit sad cause being able to go everywhere means that you have to be separated from your friends and family sometimes, but the beautiful thing about this is that you learn to adapt and I'm not talking about adapting to your environment when you’re stranded in the desert or something like that I'm talking about being able to adapt when you have to leave your friends and family, because you gain the ability to make friends quickly and blend in with everyone so you don't stand out because you've been to so many places before. I know this because I am a military child. Now I’ve been to about twenty-two countries which is a lot but I'm not trying to brag but I'm trying to tell you the possibilities of being a military child and all the cool things you can do. Hopefully, I'm not making this sound scary but I'm trying to make this sound special because if you are a military child you're special, you stand out but in a good way, because how many people can make friends immediately after being transferred to a new school? Not a lot, unless you have had the experience of being a military child. Being a military child is nice, but it's not all butterflies and rainbows. I still thank God for the life I was born into.
