There are a lot of military kids in the world. As one of them I want to make sure that everyone knows that they aren’t the only ones who go through the things that a military child has to go through. Hopefully, this will help other military children who are having trouble dealing with the things that a military child has to go through.

As a military child, there are a lot of things that my family has to go through. One of them is moving. It’s a bit harder for my family to move since we have six people in our family. When I move it’s like I leave half of my life on the other side of the world, where I can never reach it. I leave my friends, my family, and my home. But every time I left my home, I soon learned that everywhere is my home and that the other half of my life is unknown, or in other words, a mystery.

I’ve had friendships everywhere I’ve lived, and I’ve lived in a lot of places, including New Jersey, which is where I was born, Texas, Japan, Montana, and Guam, which is where I am now. My favorite part about moving is that I can make new friends and learn about different cultures, but I really hate leaving my other friends behind.

Another part about being a military child is that we can learn new things such as different cultures, different traditions, and maybe even different languages too. I’m Mexican but I don’t even know how to speak Spanish, but my mom can.

Another thing about being a military child is that sometimes family members deploy. I know that my dad has deployed a few times. One time he even deployed for a year. It was very hard to have him gone for such a long time.

Learning new things, moving, leaving friends behind, it’s all part of being a military child. But for me, I’m so lucky to be a military child because I get to travel across the world and meet new people, and I get to know some of their cultures too. That is why I love being a military child.
