摘要
我出身于军人家庭。在我出生以前直到上高中期间，我父亲都是一名海军陆战队的军官。十四年间，我们搬了十二次家。当人们得知这个情况时，他们会问，“你都是怎样结交朋友的？肯定很难吧。”但我并不觉得有什么难的。情况恰恰相反。每一次搬家都是成长和冒险的契机。我母亲告诉我：“离开你这里的好朋友也许会让你难过，但在我们要搬去的地方，你将会交到新朋友。”
I was a 1)military brat. My father was a 2)marine officer before my birth and until I started high school. We moved twelve times in fourteen years. When people learn this,they ask, "How did you ever make friends with anyone? That must have been hard foryou."
