Questions for MK's?

Post

So, every time I go back to the State's, I notice that there is a lot of confusion and miscommunication about MK's, so I figured I could clear that up a bit :D So go and ask away!!
For you that don't know what an MK is, it's a missionary kid.

What all do you do when you go on a trip?

I think the farthest place I have ever lived is Australia. Well we didn't really "live" in Australia, but we were medivaced there for 3 or 4 months.

Whats it like being a MK? Is it hard, fun, or what?

Well, it's a lot of things :D It can be really hard sometimes, like when I have to say good-bye to really good friends (my best friend lives in another country) or when I go back to the States there is a lot of culture shock for me. There are a lot of expectations people have for MKs. They expect them to be like them, totally American, or whatever culture. But we aren't. We are third culture kids. We aren't our parents culture, we aren't the culture we live in, so we have our own little "culture" :D But there are some really great things about it too :D Like meeting people from all around the world, and seeing God working in so many ways. It's kinda hard to put into words ;) But I love being an MK. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
