Thomas Aquinas once said, “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” In the novel, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor, Stacey should choose T.J as his friend.

But just good deals on everyday things can be debated as not the best advantage of a military brat. Katelynn argues that travelling is the best perk of being a military child. “My family has moved ten or more times since I was born and we have seen all 50 states as a family. On top of that I’ve been able to travel to multiple countries.” With the advantage of getting to live all over the world, brats get to meet some phenomenal people and ultimately end up having friends all over. Sometimes, they

When we moved to Winchester, the environment was divided. I was

One encounter that influenced my perspective of the world was being a female military brat. It allowed me to explore the different diversities among other people in a variety of states. It also contributed to helping me adapt in different schools. Most of all it opened my views on other military kids in the world that go through similar situations that I’ve experienced. I realize that I’m not the only one facing this subject. I felt a disadvantage at first but realized some people have never

The Next Generation of Spoiled Brats Many of you know about how the older generations always thought down on the ever so famous Generation Y, or more widely known as Millennials. Most Millennials are well into their 30’s now.

went to a good school, had plenty of friends, and received everything he ever wanted from his parents. To some people, this might seem great, but to others, like Christopher, this life was just not enough. I began to wonder if Chris was just a spoiled brat, or if there was an emotional void that needed to be filled that caused him to leave. It is obvious that Christopher McCandless was outrageously intelligent; however, he suffered from extreme depression and possibly other mental impairments which

Being a military brat is always hard. No matter how hard people try, nobody who hasn't experienced it can truly understand what it is like to be constantly uprooted. For me, it was worse. I have always been extremely ADHD. That made it almost impossible for me to connect with other kids. I was always the odd man out. The tesla coil: brilliant and energetic, but erratic, misunderstood, and perhaps a bit intimidating. Certainly not something anyone wanted to get close to. Whenever I moved,

Diversity has been an integral part of the fabric of my life. Growing up as an Army Brat was very multi faceted. One of the most positive elements was the exposure I received in my schools and on post. My childhood neighborhoods were rich with different cultures, races and religious backgrounds.

Being exposed to these different types of people has prepared me for relations with

My life as a military brat has not always been easy. In the last 19 years, I have moved five different times and dealt with my father deploying for months at a time. Moving is hard on military families because of having to meet new people, figuring out where to go to school, etc. Every military child is unique in their own way, whether it 's because of the different experiences he or she has attained from moving, the different cultures/languages, or even meeting new people.

undergraduate student, I had the opportunity to shadow for a team of neuropathologist led by Dr. Brat. While shadowing for Dr. Brat, we received a patients tissue and the team of pathologist (including myself) determined that this patient had glioblastoma.

18, 2013. The lead actors Steve Hoover, and his friend Rocky Brat, a medical volunteer, traveled to India to document Steve Hoovers’ work with children who lived with HIV. This documentary is very inspirational and it has taught me not to be afraid to go for your dreams even if people do not agree.

The article I chose discusses how in today’s society the things that are most important to people are material items such as what they buy and have. The twenty first century is filled with new gadgets that are turning our youth into spoiled brats.

What does a 31 year old Iraqi Navy veteran have in common with a 61 year old Air Force brat?
