What Being a Military Child Means to Me

My mom told me that we were going to move to South Korea when I was in first grade during summer break. Then my mom said we were pushing it back to the middle of third grade. Finally, when I turned third grade, we packed all our stuff. We rode the plane for 16 hours and then moved from Florida to Korea. Then I met my friend Rosie. On the second day, I was friends with Shan and Lana E. We were BFFs. We talk at lunch and talk about our little siblings being so sassy and very mean to us.

I like living in Korea because I like their noodles and the convenience store. I like eating pizza. I like going to places.

Being a military child means… you can make new friends. Being a military child means… you have to move to different places, and you can barely see your parents.
