2025/Penny -

It was a 5-day weekend and you're walking around outside when your mom says “Time to go to American village”, you get in the car, and suddenly you're there. You see all of the fancy stores and freeze. In my opinion being a military child feels great, and similar to children who are not in the military. I'm going to show you three reasons why being a military child feels great, and similar to children that are not in the military. My first reason is you get to go back to the place you came from, the second reason is you still get to go to school for a long time, and the third reason is you get to see different styles of things. Read more to see all the details of being a military child!

The first reason why being a military child feels normal is because you get to move back to the place you came from. For example at the end of the school year I get to move back to Maryland, Maryland is the place I came from. It feels like home. Another example is I'm moving at the end of the school year back to Maryland, and I'll get to see my friends there. I miss Fiona very much. Finally, moving to Okinawa has been fun but it's nice to know that I'll get to go back home. Maybe, when I get back I will compare Maryland and Okinawa. This is a reason why being a military child is normal.

My second reason being a military child feels normal is because you still get to go to a school for a long time. For example, the last place I was in the same school named RCV for 2 years. Another example is last year I was in a different school for a year. Named Zuckeran. Another example is I've been here at ECK for almost a year too. This is a reason why being a military child feels normal.

One of my reasons it's awesome is because you get to see different styles of food, clothes, stores, and more. For example here I went to a place that sells candy and everything was different. Another example is American village, it has a whole different style than American stores. One more example is me and my family went to a festival and there were all tents and games that you do to win prizes. And that's why being a military child is awesome.

And that's why being a military child feels great, and similar to the children who are not in the military. We get to move back to the place you came from like me going back to Maryland. You get to go to a school for a long time like our RCV. You get to see different styles of stuff like American village. I hope my writing has made you realize how lucky you are to be a military child if you are one!
