Imagine feeling the ocean breeze and here the waves crashing on the beach and smelling Salty Sea Water this is just another weekend to me. In my opinion being a military child is fantastic and sometimes challenging. As a military child you get to meet new people, see cool places, and you have to leave your friends and family . Keep on reading if you want to find out what I think being a military child is fantastic but sometimes challenging.

The first reason why it is fantastic is that you get to meet new people. For example when I was 7 I met Emery. She is so nice and kind and I met her at Naha. Also I met Ash. I met her at Chatan Village she is kind and warm-hearted .And I met Kaliena at Lester she is kind and warm hearted. These are just some of the best friends I met being a military child!

The second reason why it is fantastic is you get to see cool places. For example, when I was in Guam I got to see the shark aquarium. It had a shark that had patterns on it. Another place is the Botanical Garden. My favorite part about it is feeding the capybara as they also had a little baby too. And in New Mexico there was a light show. It had so many cool lights. My favorite part is seeing the biggest house in the light. That is why it is fantastic being a military child.

But it can be challenging leaving friends and family. First when I moved to New Hampshire I left many of my friends in kindergarten. And when I was in New Mexico I got close with my friends then I headed to leave. Also when I went to Okinawa I left family and friends.

So now you know why I like being a military child, it's fantastic but also challenging. You also get to meet new people like Kaliena, Emery, and ash. You also get to see cool places like the shark aquarium, Botanical garden, and then the light show. finally it can be challenging like when I had to leave my friends and family. I hope that my riding has helped you know how a military Child life is and if you are a military child reading this please know How special you are.
