Life as a military child from England is a great experience because you get to travel the world and have new adventures every two or more years. Whilst being a military child is a great experience, it has its negative effects, like missing family and friends. This is not the only negative side is because you don’t know where your home is because you move around too much. There is also the fact that it can be very sad leaving friends and I can say that it will all go away with time but not all of it will go. You will still be sad some days but others will be so memorable. With moving around so much you will make some good friends whom you are in contact with. You will also make some friends who are going to be there for life, who make the effort to come and see you and you do the same. These friends are the ones that will make you love but also hate moving. You may love it when moving closer to them or taking to them but may hate it if you have to leave them. You could also love but also hate talking to them because it's nice to talk to them but it makes you miss them too much. Back to the positive things being a military child comes with great responsibility, courage, willingness, and the ability to overcome. When it comes to your family they will be amazing and supportive. Your friends will help you through the tough times and you can help them too. You may think things are so bad but when the future comes and you look back you will always look at the positives.
