Caring F...
Kadena Elementary School
My dad is in the Air Force on Kadena Air Base and I have attended schools there since second grade. My military dad is a hard worker and always looks after my family. Being a military kid is fun, but it also can be hard because we don't stay in one place for long. I have lived here in Okinawa for 4 years already. I have also been able to travel many times to other parts of Asia and the United States. Learning about other countries and trying different kinds of foods is the best part. Another advantage of being a military child is that I have also been lucky to make friends from all over the world. Another thing I like about being a military child is that I feel safe where I live and in my school. While stationed in Okinawa, I have also been able to take piano lessons and gymnastics classes. I am grateful for all the opportunities that Kadena Air Base and the military have offered me and my family. My dad will retire soon and we will be returning to the United States to start a new life in Atlanta, Georgia. I wonder what the future will hold for me and my family.
