Home: Only Place for Myself

‘Home.’ The one word that has a lot of meaning inside. When I hear this word ‘home,’ It makes me cry. Home is bright, Home is sweet, Home is happy. Sometimes I complain about it, Sometimes I say good things about it. It is always beside me. Home never changes, It makes you feel warm and comfortable. It doesn’t put you in any trouble. Sometime I really miss home. When I came to Canada to study English, I felt like I will not accomplish anything. Felt like home was not within me anymore. When I got my new room, Cleaned my room with the broom, It started to feel like home is within me again. Home has lots of memories, Memories like accessories. All the memories I made at home in Korea with my family. I really need them. Home always has the same mood, The same smells and feelings. It is the one place only for you. Even though all homes are different, It is always open to you. It is the place that you get rest, The place that you can be the best. The place that holds your secrets, The place where you don’t need to act. Always be thankful that you have a home, Some people don't have a sweet home like you. If I don’t get first place, I will just be thankful that I’m donating. Helping others is the real winning! Do you know why? Helping other benefits me with more kindness. Home sweet home. Home means a lot to me.
