*we are strong
*we will stick together because we are not normal children
*we are military children

*you may think you move
*that you've got it tough

*but we move every three years
all over the world

*we see the world in our own eyes
*in a different perspective
*we know we can accomplish great things

*we may not be the same
*we may not have been to a public school
*but we know how life is
* how its unfair,how it can be at its highpoint but then at the blink of an eye it all went down

*so don't judge us
*were not so different from you
* but if you do we will survive
* because we are strong

The author's comments:
i wrote this piece, because i am a military child. i know how it is to leave your friends and family places. so i thought I'd write about my experiences and how strong we really are. so i hope you enjoy my writing!
