2025/Riker-

When I was in Hawaii, my mom told me we are moving to Korea. I was sad knowing that I would lose some friends. I thought Korea was a hot place, but we all know it’s not. I like when my dad gives me gifts.

One time in 2020, my dad was gone for a long time. I missed him a lot, and I dislocated my bone one time. If you read this until now, good job.

Why it is good and bad being a military child: your dad or mom is in the military, which is big, it helps a lot, and is very good. It is good because you get to go to new places, but you lose friends though you get new ones, maybe better ones. The bad part is losing friends and not seeing your dad or mom for a long time. The fun part is you get to spend time with friends and family.

Fast forward, now I am in Korea. The flight was 18 hours long. My mom was my only hope of talking to Korean people. I thought my friends would forget about me, but I can only call one and only on the weekends because Korea is 18 hours ahead of U.S. time. I made new friends in school. Then my mom gave birth to my baby sister.

But there were a lot of mean people—like, a lot—which is a problem. Every time I told my mom, the mean people would act like I did something bad, which is another problem with being a military child.

This is the end. I hope you enjoyed reading this. Have a great day.
