Being a Military child is hard, especially when nobody knows what it feels like. A lot of people don’t get it, since they don’t have to start a whole new life every few years. It’s confusing and hard, and I get it. The anxiety that every military kid goes through is so sad. I do like having new friends, learning new languages, new personalities, and new everything but it's so scary and sad but at the same time so exciting and interesting. I wish everyone would know how it feels to be a military brat. So many questions and so many answers. The curiosity of these people from these different schools/countries is amusing. I look them into their eyes, listening to every word they say. I answer these questions so easily. It’s fascinating that these people don’t know about my country or how it feels like to be a military brat. I’m so grateful for being a military child and that we have our month that people know about, but I feel so much sadness. It’s like I do not have much time left to do the things I want in this country. Time is going too fast, and I hate it. I wish the people that left, never left. I wish that the people I miss were there where I am. I love going to new places and learning about other countries, but It’s still depressing that I have to leave everything behind, but one thing I know. I am a military child from Poland, and I will always love it.
