Imagine you're on a beautiful tropical island lush and green and you can go there anytime! For me that's a normal day! Being a military child is fantastic but challenging. I like the food and going to ECK but I don't like it when my friends leave here. But if you want to know more about being a military child, keep reading!

The first reason I like being a military child is because I like all of the different foods. One example of a different food is one of the amazing foods you can find in Okinawa- it’s udon. It's Delicious the white noodles with the soup is amazing. Another example is onigiri or rice balls. The rice and all of the flavors are fantastic! My favorite flavor is salmon. The third example is sushi. I like the egg one especially the cold egg tastes amazing! That's why I like eating all of the different types of food as a military child

The second reason I like being a military child is I get to go to ECK. The first reason I like going to ECK is because of all of the materials we are so lucky to have at ECK like white boards desks and big neighborhood and community spaces. The second reason I like going to ECK is that we get smarter from ECK. This year I learned multiplication and division. The third reason I like going to ECK is because I get to meet new friends and one of my friends is Maedyn. And that's why I liked going to ECK as a military child.

Being a military child can also be challenging because your friends have to leave sometimes . It can be challenging because I don't like when my friends leave. It's hard to see them again. Second reason I don't like when my friends leave is that you can never go play with them again. The final reason I don't like when my friends leave is because you can never talk to them again. That's why being a military child can be hard .

So that’s my opinion! Even though it's hard sometimes I think being a military child is fantastic. You get to go try new foods like udon. You also get to go to ECK and have material that most schools don't have . But sometimes it can be hard when your friends move and you can't play with them ever again. So what do you think about being a military child? Would you want to be one?
