Being a military child has changed my life significantly both in good and bad ways. Through being a military child I was able to meet new people, make new friends, and get to explore new places. The one thing I did not like about being a military child was that after a few years of moving to a new home, we would have to leave. I can remember how sad I was when we had to make our first move, I was about five years old. I was very disappointed and angry, I thought it was very unfair. Yet I could do nothing except say goodbye to all of my friends and take one good look at the home I grew up in. As I got older I realized that being a military child is just life and meeting new people and exploring new places isn’t so bad after all. As we moved to places like Germany, Tennessee, and Japan I was able to meet some very nice people, and some I still talk to today. I had to think to myself about how I would meet these people if I had never been a military child or how I would get to explore new places and visit new countries if I was never a military child. This helped me feel better and start to enjoy the life of a military child.
