The MCEC Call for the Arts program invites military-connected children from all over the world, representing every branch of service, to share interpretations through art of what it means to be a military-connected child. In this podcast, I spoke with one of the 2023 Call for the Arts high school winners: Reagan. Her artistic expressions of herself and her life as a military child tell an incredible story.

Bio:
Reagan is a senior at Flour Bluff High School. While her mother has retired after 20 years of service, Reagan still fondly remembers the days visiting her at work and reading the books she sent from overseas. She's currently president of her school's National Art Honor Society, and treasurer for Thespian Troupe 4053. Reagan is also active in the National Honor Society, as well as in Mock Trial as her team's courtroom artist. She loves exploring different avenues of art- painting, writing, and acting are some of her favorite pastimes! She is excited to pursue a career in the animation industry after she graduates.
