Imagine sitting on a chair at the beach hearing the waves crashing on the sand. In my opinion, being a military child is awesome but also challenging. As a military child, you get to go to new places, find new toys, but you also have to move a lot. If YOU are one of the people that think being a military child is bad, read my paper so I can change your mind.

The first reason why being a military child is awesome is because you can see new places. For example, you can go to Tokyo Japan where there is a Disneyland. Disneyland has tons of rides, shops and a place where you can get a Disney themed box and fill it with all different types of popcorn. Another example is, you can go to Kyushu and smell smoke in the countryside, go see the hot springs and go Geocaching! Also, you can go to Okuma Beach where you can sleep in a cabin or you can go camping! On weekends, there is a buffet in the morning and there is also a pizza place! These are just a few examples of the new places you can see when you are a military child.

The second reason why being a military child is awesome is because you can find new toys! For example, when you're in Japan, you will find tons of Sanrio characters like Cinnamon Roll, Pom Pom Pudding, Pochacco and tons more! Another example is, when you're in Hawaii, you will find tons of shops that have bathing suits, floaties, and surfboards! Also, when you're in Okinawa, Japan, at American Village, there are 28 shops, including a Christmas shop that is there the whole year! That is why I think being a military child helps you find so many new toys.

But it is also challenging being a military child because you have to move. One example of why moving is hard is because you have to leave all the things you know. Things like your house, or apartment. Another example of why it is hard to move is because you might never see your friends again! Also, you will have to sell your bed sometimes! I have to sell my bed when I leave Japan! That is why it is challenging to move.

After all you have read, I hope you now think being a military child is awesome, but also challenging sometimes. You get to see new places like Tokyo. You get to find new toys, like Sanrio characters. But you also have to move away and sell your bed even if you really like it! I hope you changed your mind about being a military child and LEARNED A LOT!
