2025/Monica -

My life as a military child is very special to me. It is special to me for these reasons. My first reason is that I get to travel on cool airplane rides and watch TV on the airplane rides. Also, I get to see new communities and met new people. They can help me

move in and be friends. Getting to meet new people is very exciting. It makes me very happy because me and my family can make new friends.

It will be super fun because I get a new home to live in. I can get a new room and live in a new military community. Being a military child can be very hard to feel when my dad was away at sea. I was sad for a little while, but when he came back I was so happy that he came back. We did a lot of fun things together.

In a new community It is so exciting. Everyone is so happy, and we have a good time. When I was younger, we moved. I had to say goodbye to my friends. I was sad and happy at the same time. I was sad because I was leaving my friends. I was happy because I would make new friends. Making friends is important to me because I don't want to be alone with no friends to play with.

Being a military child can be happy and hurtful because seeing new people can be very scary and joyful. It is mostly very joyful. It can be scary because you can feel a little shy. It can be joyful because you meet new people and who might become your friends. If you are scared of talking to someone, then believe in yourself that you can do it. If you are so happy to meet new people, then ask them to be your new friends. This is why being a military child is special to me.
