The Meaning of Home

Well let's get started. First, let’s talk about what is a house and what is a home. So a house is a building with a roof but a home is where you feel safe, loved and protected. Well now that we know the difference between a house and a home I can get started on writing what home means to me. Home means everything to me because I feel safe, loved and protected. I live in Canada, a free country. It’s nice here with the trees but you may live in a different country and that is ok as long as you like where you live, you are good to stay where you are. You might have a small home but it is ok if you have a small family. To have a home all you need is a family but sometimes people want houses and that is ok. If I did not have a house I would want to have a house and that is why I am writing this paragraph, so builders can build a house for people who don’t have a house. Home means everything to me (other than my Family). I have a Pool and a Backyard and a Big Front Yard but if my Mom would let us sell it I would give the money to Habitat for Humanity so they could build more houses for the people who don’t have a house. As long as we all have a house life is fair.
