What is it like to be a military child?
Well to start off, I just have to say that it's not easy, but I will get to that later. I remember when my dad came back from work and said that we are moving to Belgium in a couple of months. I was in a BIG shock and I didn't want to go because I had many friends and I didn't know the language, but I didn't get a say in this. After 5 months we moved, and the first couple weeks were really hard because I didn't have any friends, I didn't know the language, and I started missing Poland and my family, but after a couple of months, it started getting better. I made friends from all around the World, learned the language and I`ve been to places around Europe that I would never go to if I hadn't moved to Belgium. I started realizing that moving to Belgium wasn`t such a bad idea because it had many good sides, and the only thing that I don't like about being a military child is that if you make a friend, they or you will move away some time and you won't be able to see them for a long time, but in my overall opinion it's pretty cool to be a military child.
