Molly the Military Brat
Molly, a resourceful 10-year-old girl with black hair and glasses, faces the challenge of constantly moving due to her father's military job. In Austin, she must navigate the difficulty of making new friends and finding her place, learning about courage along the way.
Molly had just moved to Austin because her father was in the military. She missed her old friends and her old school. The thought of starting over again made her stomach twist. How could she ever feel at home in a new place? She felt so alone.
On the first day of school, Molly struggled to find her classroom. She felt everyone's eyes on her as she wandered the halls. When she finally found her classroom, she took a deep breath and walked in. But no one seemed interested in talking to her. She felt invisible.
During lunch, Molly sat alone at a table, wishing she could be back with her old friends. She saw a group of girls laughing and having fun. Molly wanted to join them but was too scared. What if they didn't like her? She felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Molly decided to give up trying to make friends. She would just focus on her schoolwork and forget about everything else. That night, she told her dad how she felt. - I just don't fit in here, Dad. - Give it some time, Molly. You're brave and resourceful. You'll find a way.
The next day, Molly noticed a girl sitting alone in the library. She remembered her dad's words and gathered her courage. - Hi, I'm Molly. Do you mind if I sit with you? The girl smiled and nodded. - I'm Emma. Sure, I'd love that.
Molly and Emma became fast friends. They helped each other with homework and played together during recess. Molly realized that being brave wasn't about being fearless; it was about trying even when you're scared. She finally felt at home.
