Oprah

I am going to find time tommrow to write Oprah and see about a show idea on Third Culture Kids: this issue needs to be addressed in the military circles!

A mother of a future TCK?

I have realized (and hoping) that my son will get to be a TCK, like me. It looks like we may have the chance to live overseas. If we do and Ronan is still young and in his developmental years, he will. It will be interesting to see how this effects him. Especially since Ryan and I will not be going into the situation unknowingly and blindly like my parents. We know what a tck is and the ups and downs. I hope to use the knowledge we have (and keep learning!) to help Ronan achieve all he can in life. I believe TCKs have something different and special to offer the world. I also would love to live life outside the US. I know one place we could move to, is Hawaii. Though it is "American soil", I have heard how rich and beautiful the culture is there. Who knows, we may find ourselves in Japan or maybe Europe one day! One can only hope and pray to God.

Awareness

I went to a family member training session here on the army base. It is like a 'welcome to the military life' sort of class. They have different instructors teaching different classes. One was on children and schools. This is an important issue, because in the military you are moving all the time. But I was sad to know, the military still doesn't know about TCKs. Which I know, not every child in a military family is one....but there are quite a lot of children who are. So I'm thinking about forming a group. I wouldn't mind having it for anyone who is a TCK...but I'd rather it be a informational group for parents of TCKS, before they exist.
