Being a military child, life is hard. My family has moved a lot. I moved to five different places. And when I was 5-7, I did not know why we moved a lot. When I had to leave all my friends and all my family, I was very sad. And when I moved here to Korea, I had no idea what to do. How could I make friends? How could I do anything if I had no friends? And all my friends back in the US were very different then here in Korea. When I wanted to call people at 5pm for example it would be 3am for the people in the US. And I had to call all my friends and family late at night. And when I got used to being here in Korea and seeing new people in my class or in my building, I helped all those people who were new here. And I became their friend. I did not want those people to do the exact same thing I did when I first moved here. For example, what I did when I first moved here to Korea. I just stayed home all day and did nothing. I did not want those people to do the exact same thing I did. Now I play outside and even joined Girl Scouts. And other people as military people have to move away from their family and when you make new friends, those friends have to move away because they are also military children.
And that is my life as a military child.
