Benjamin C...
Humphreys Middle School
My name is Benjamin Walker Carlisle. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters and am deaf in one ear. I am in fifth grade. I was born in Fort Riley, Kansas, where I started my life as a military child. At that time, I did not realize the experiences that came with being the child of two military workers. I now realize that being a military child gives me opportunities to travel, and I get to go to places that other kids dream of going to. Being a military child has its pros and cons, but it is exciting. Right now, I am in South Korea. I like the culture and food, and it is one of the safest places on earth. Korea is kind of a war, but it is still safe. Right now, now in my 7th year in Korea. I am in the school and have good friends, like my best friend, Alijah Conley. He helps me when I am sad or mad. He plays basketball with me and is in my class. My mom is a W-3, and my dad is an E-6.
