Where R U From?
Imogene S.
Florida
"The life of a military child is unpredictable. Never knowing what’s coming next is scary and can cause anxiety and almost a feeling like falling, with no control."

All Dressed Up
Ellie C.
Ghana
"This is a watercolor portrait of a photo I took of a young girl at a festival I was attending at my post in Accra, Ghana. Living overseas exposes me to fascinating customs and cultures. Although the life of a militeen is tough, it has given me many opportunities to learn about new places and people."

Coming Home
Miah S.
Virginia
"I wanted to capture the essence of not only parents coming home from deployment but militeens coming home, wherever home may be. Some may view the art as someone leaving home, but we military teens know that leaving home will open opportunities to find a new home."

Packing
Rowan M.
Illinois
A collection of things people have said to me about moving, and scattered items that I take with me whenever I move. I made this in honor of me moving to Guam in a few weeks, and it represents what I'm taking with me, both literally and figuratively.

Lightening Path
Evelyn M.
South Korea
There's a point in every part of a military
child's life where they leave the nest, and the lifestyle they
have known their whole life. They have to find their new
sense of self, and learn a new way of life. It's a special part in
every child's life, finding a new path.
